    A Microwave Frequency Range Experiment for the Measurement of Snow Density and Liquid Water Content

    No full text
    International audienceThis article presents a new nondestructive characterization system for the extraction of both snow density and liquid water content (LWC). The experiment primarily measures the relative complex permittivity of snow ( εs¯¯¯¯¯ ) at microwave frequencies at 4–6 GHz. The density and LWC are then deduced with high accuracy from an empirical model of the literature that has been experimentally validated in this study

    Wide Band Frequency Characterization of Al-Doped and Undoped Rutile TiO 2 Thin Films for MIM Capacitors

    No full text
    International audienceIn this letter, the dielectric properties of rutile TiO2 thin films are studied for metal-insulator-metal capacitor applications. The dielectric constant, the ac conductivity, and the loss tangent are measured in a wide band frequency range, from 1 Hz to 2 GHz. The effect of aluminum doping, as well as the influence of film thickness, on the dielectric properties is presented
