  2. The transmission properties of common building materials, such as glass and red brick, are measured at normal incidence over a range of 4-40 GHz in a modular anechoic chamber using a vector network analyzer. Complex permittivity values are estimated using only transmission S-parameters of the material under test and an air reference measurement. Results suggest that the method provides reasonable estimates of complex permittivity at high microwave and lower mm-wave frequencies.

  3. Transmission of common building materials, such as drywall, cinder block, gypsum board, and glass are characterized over the 4-40 GHz range for normal incidence in a compact anechoic chamber. Results indicate that many interior materials only exhibit modest increase in loss compared to UHF (1 to 4 dB), whereas cinder block can increase loss by as much as 20 to 30 dB.
