Keysight N1500A materials measurement software suite allows you to determine the intrinsic electromagnetic properties of many dielectric and magnetic materials. The software uses a network analyzer, impedance analyzer, or LCR meter to measure the material’s response to RF or microwave energy and calculates the results. The measurement frequency range is from 20Hz to the low THz, depending on the instrument and sample holder or fixture used.
