Typical Effects of Temperature Change on Permittivity
Measurement Accuracy
When the temperature at the test port (7-mm connector) of the high temperature cable
changes more than 5 °C from the calibration temperature, the typical permittivity
measurement accuracy involving temperature dependence effects (errors) is applied.
The typical permittivity accuracy is represented by the sum of error due to temperature
coefficient (Tc), hysteresis error (Tc × ΔTmax) and the accuracy at 23 °C ± 5 °C.
