            Abstract : 
Data are presented on room temperature dielectric properties of SiC wafers of various grades at millimeter wavelengths to explore their potential as an alternate material for gyrotron window applications. In addition, measurements are being performed over a range of frequencies and temperatures to understand the loss mechanism and results will be reported.
