Microwave material
properties
Updated April
3, 2007
This page discusses the different
types of materials commonly used in microwave applications. We have
divided materials into some logical categories for you, but you
should remember that there is a lot of overlap between categories
such as structural materials and conductors, so if you don't find
a particular material in a table, either check the other tables
or go to the encyclopedia and look it up. To get the most information
on a particular material in one of the tables, simply click on it
to see all of the information we have compiled on it. All materials
we discuss are (or should be) indexed in the Microwaves101 encyclopedia
as well.
Some
of the data contained in our tables was "borrowed" from
the boulder.nist.gov web site, be our guest and visit them for more
detailed info on materials!
Matweb is also a good resource
for material properties, check it
out!
Absorbing
materials
Capacitor
dielectric materials (not much up yet!)
Conductor
and resistor materials
Miscellaneous
materials (in case you need to know the dielectric constant
of that prime rib you ate over the holidays...)
Conductor and resistor thick
film pastes (not yet)
Glass sealing
materials
Hazardous
materials
Magnetic
materials
Metamaterials
(new for April 2007!
HIgh
permeability materials
Structural
materials
Solders and epoxies (not yet)
Hard
substrate materials(such as ceramics)
Soft
substrate materials (such as Duroid)
Superconductor materials (be
patient, OK?)
In addition to our tables of
bulk material properties, you scientific types can find atomic numbers
and weights by looking through our modest Periodic
table.
