The originalities of the approach lie in its applicability at non-resonant frequencies, which brings a significant experimental simplicity by avoiding critical coupling, expansion of available frequencies in different bands with the same cost-efficient low-Q (?60) cavity. The direct problem involves either measuring power values inside a cavity (14.6 × 5 × 20.6) cm via a spectrum analyzer or simulating the complete setup via CST-MWS software at one of the non-resonant modes, 1.5 GHz. The solution to the inverse problem provides fastly converging results with an error rate of 1% for the unknown permittivities. The experiments were carried out using five different liquid samples even though the proposed technique does not have a limitation on solid materials. Applicability and the effectiveness of the introduced method is illustrated in detail and comparisons with the perturbation method is provided. © 2023 Elsevier GmbHArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Cost-Effective Experiments With Additively Manufactured Waveguide and Cavities in the S-Band(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Yilmaz, Hasan Önder; Özkal, Ceren; Yaman, FatihThis study demonstrates the applicability of additively manufactured components that are metalized with conductive tape for two different microwave experiments. We focus on dielectric measurements and prototyping elliptical accelerator cavities at a low power regime for 2.45 GHz. To illustrate the accuracy of our results for the commonly used solid/liquid materials in engineering and to compare the fundamental accelerator cavity parameters with previous research rectangular and elliptic 3D-printed cavities coated with aluminum-type tape were employed in the experiments. Results reported for the complex-valued permittivities and specific design parameters for the cavity prototype are consistent with the literature. Various approaches to obtain the conductivity value of the tape and the effect of the roughness/thickness of the coating on the reflection parameter are discussed in detail. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which reduces costs and provides a high degree of accuracy for investigated applications.
