TLDR
The utility of a quarter-wave transformer for precise measurement of complex microwave conductivity of semiconductors has been demonstrated in this paper, where it has been shown that the improvement in measurement accuracy is nearly by a factor of 3 over the conventional reflection measurement using a Teflon transformer.
Abstract
The utility of a quarter-wave transformer for precise measurement of complex microwave conductivity of semiconductors has been demonstrated. It has been shown for a chosen conductivity of 9 /spl Omega//spl dot/cm that the improvement in measurement accuracy is nearly by a factor of 3 over the conventional reflection measurement using a Teflon transformer.

The Calibration of the Slotted Section for Precision Microwave Measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a calibration procedure is presented which compensates rigorously for the effects introduced by discontinuities due to the end of the slot, and due to possible adaptors, coupling elements, bead supports, etc, and the presence of a slot in creating a guide wavelength and characteristic impedance slightly different from that of a guide without a slot.
