Abstract :
In this paper accurate material measurements at sub-millimetre wave frequencies performed with two different systems are compared. Transmission and reflection results of high quality samples measured with a quasi-optical open resonator and a quasi-optical free-space bench are presented. Based on the comparison between the two results, an accuracy assessment of the transmission set-up is performed.
