Abstract- There are a number of measuring techniques which allow for the determining of electrical properties, such as the complex permittivity and complex permeability. Of these techniques, one in particular- the conventional cavity perturbation method, was explored. Through the utilization of this method, and a combination of standard rectangular waveguides, a discrete spectrum from approximately 2-22 GHz was established for the analysis of various liquid samples. It was noticed that for a given waveguide, as mode number increased, there was a systematic increase in permittivity values, as well as a discontinuity in permittivity values going from one waveguide to the next. As a result, several corrections are introduced, with commentary on their results.
