“A Laboratory Technique for measuring dielectric properties of core samples at ultra high frequencies,” Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, pp. 502-514, August 1985.
This paper describes an automated laboratory system that can measure accurately the dielectric properties of core samples in the ultrahigh-frequency properties of core samples in the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) range. The system consists of a precision coaxial-line sample holder, a network analyzer, a plotter, a printer, and a desk computer. The computer is for measurement control, data acquisition, and data analysis. A new method is developed to measure and to compensate for the error of the network analyzer system. This method uses a brass sample and does not require standard terminations. A procedure for core sample preparation is also recommended to ensure accuracy of the data.
