IEC 62562:2010 describes a measurement method of dielectric properties in the planar direction of dielectric plate at microwave frequency, called a cavity resonator method. It has been created in order to develop new materials and to design microwave active and passive devices for which standardization of measurement methods of material properties is more and more important. This first edition cancels and replaces the PAS published in 2008. This bilingual version, published in 2010-05, corresponds to the English version.
