Abstract
A device for measuring at least one of dielectric and magnetic properties of a sample by means of a microwave transmission measurement includes a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna defining a transmission measuring section in which the sample to be measured is located, and transmitting and receiving modules. The transmitting and receiving modules include one or more transmission-side and receiving side synthesizers, a clock, one or more transmission side or receiving side mixers to generate intermediate-frequency signals based on high-frequency signals received from the synthesizers, and at least one evaluation unit to perform an evaluation based on the intermediate-frequency signals.
