Liftoff Dielectric Resonator for the Microwave Surface Resistance Measurement of Metal Plates

A new method for accurate measurement of the microwave surface resistance of flat metal plates is proposed and verified experimentally, based on a sapphire dielectric resonator. System losses are accounted for by having continuous and controlled variation of the distance between the dielectric and the sample under test.
