In the frequency range of microwave and millimeter wave, the method can be divided into two categories, namely a network parameter method and a resonance method according to different testing principles. The two methods in the prior technical scheme have the advantages and the disadvantages respectively, the network parameter method has the greatest advantage of realizing continuous frequency sweep test, theoretically obtaining data of each frequency point in a test frequency range, and simultaneously realizing complex dielectric constant and complex permeability test of a high-loss material, and in addition, the test fixture is relatively simple to process and low in cost, and the defect is that the loss measurement precision of the low-loss material is not high.
