Abstract

"An interferometer based on the principle of homodyning can be used to measure the reflectance of solid samples at microwave frequencies. These measurements provide the low frequency values needed for a Kramers-Kronig analysis. This analysis yields the complex dielectric function, e1+ ie2, and complex index of refraction, n + ik, of the solid. 2 This interferometer was tested on a pressed pellet sample of powdered Dixon 200-10 graphite and yielded satisfactory results. Also investigated were two different methods of signal modulation: mechanical chopping and a rotating wire grid polarizer" Abstract, p. ii
