The SPDR (Split Post Dielectric Resonator) operates at a frequency of 10 GHz and is designed for various measurement purposes related to dielectric materials.  SPDRs are designed for measuring the complex permittivity of laminar dielectric materials, including LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) substrates, as well as thin ferroelectric films on low loss dielectric substrates. Additionally, they can measure the surface resistance and conductivity of conducting materials, such as resistive layers, conductive polymer films, or high-resistivity semiconductors. SPDRs use a specific resonant mode. The resonant frequency of this mode depends on the dimensions of the resonator and, to some extent, on the electrical properties of the sample being measured. SPDRs measure the resonant frequency and Q-factor of the empty resonator (without the sample) and then with the investigated sample in place. Dedicated software is provided to determine the permittivity (a measure of how much a material resists the flow of electric field) and dielectric loss tangent (a measure of energy loss) of the sample based on the measured resonant frequency and Q-factor.

Silicon Carbide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material with a unique combination of physical and electronic properties that make it highly useful in various applications. Silicon carbide is a versatile material known for its hardness, thermal conductivity, and wide bandgap semiconductor properties. It finds applications in a wide range of industries, from electronics and power devices to abrasives and high-temperature materials. Its unique combination of properties makes it a valuable material for various high-performance applications.
A comprehensive 3D model of an SPDR (Split Post Dielectric Resonator) with a Silicon Carbide (SiC) sample inside was created. The model allows full manipulation of resonator model, sample and simulation parameters. A standard example is shown below.
We've also created a 3D model of a Single-Post Dielectric Resonator that operates at a frequency of 10 GHz. Single-Post Dielectric Resonators, or SiPDRs, are great for measuring materials that tend to lose energy as heat due to factors like electrical conductivity. This is especially useful for materials like semiconductor substrates, composites, and coatings, which can have significant losses. SiPDRs are commonly used to measure surface resistivity, a critical parameter for materials used in various applications, including the semiconductor industry, where precise control of electrical properties is essential.

In line with the requirements of the I4Bags project, we've also incorporated a sample beneath the resonator head in the model. This sample consists of a substrate (with parameters similar to quartz) and a carbon coating with user-defined specifications. Additionally, all the parameters in model shown below can be adjusted by the user as needed.
