What is BS EN 61338-1 – Waveguide type dielectric resonators about?
BS EN 61338-1 is an international standard that focuses on the generic specification of waveguide type dielectric resonators.
BS EN 61338-1 applies to waveguide type dielectric resonators of assessed quality using either capability approval or qualification approval procedures.
BS EN 61338-1 also lists the test and measurement procedures that may be selected for use in detail specifications for such resonators.
Who is BS EN 61338-1 - Waveguide type dielectric resonators for?
BS EN 61338-1 on the generic specification of waveguide type dielectric resonators are useful for:
- Manufacturers of waveguide type dielectric resonators
- Suppliers and designers waveguide type dielectric resonators
- Manufacturers of electronic devices
- Testing authorities
- Regulatory authorities
- Electrical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 61338-1 - Waveguide type dielectric resonators?
A dielectric resonator is a piece of dielectric (nonconductive but polarizable) material, usually ceramic. These dielectric resonators are designed to function as a resonator for radio waves, generally in the microwave and millimetre wave bands.
BS EN 61338-1 specifies the measuring parameters, measuring methods, and procedures for calculating resistance and conductivity at the interface between the conductor layer and dielectric substrate.
BS EN 61338-1 can be your best guide in performing these measurement methods which are as follows:
- The resonant frequency is useful in measuring the interface resistance which helps in improving the quality of resonators
- The interface conductivity and relative interface conductivity is calculated by using measured interface resistance
- This method is useful in assuring the uncertainty of relative interface conductivity is less than 5%
By applying BS EN 61338-1, you can ensure the resistibility of these resonators which results in standardizing the manufacturing process of these waveguide type dielectric resonators.
