Abstract

A device for measuring the electrical characteristics of a ferromagnetic erial as a function of temperature, such as its dielectric constant verses temperature characteristics. The device having a quick mount fixture that utilizes a gravity feed and thermal grease to insure a quick reliable thermal connection between the temperature controller and the device under test (DUT). In addition, the device can be remotely controlled by a computer to automate the measuring procedure, thus reducing measuring time and alleviating the intensive manual procedure of making such measurements. Moreover, the device is easily mountable in a humidity-free or desiccation chamber to insure the measurements are reliable and accurate.
