Overview

IEC TS 61994-4-3:2008 is a Technical Specification published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It focuses on the terminology and definitions for materials used in dielectric devices, specifically waveguide type dielectric resonators. This document forms part of the essential references for professionals and organizations working with frequency control and selection components. The technical specification supports international consistency and effective communication across standards, benefiting manufacturers, designers, and users in the electronics and telecommunications sectors.

Key Topics

  • Dielectric Materials: The standard defines dielectric materials as those primarily exhibiting dielectric properties. These materials are critical in the creation of resonators for high-frequency applications.
  • Dielectric Resonator Materials: Materials designed to function in ultra high frequency (UHF) and super high frequency (SHF) ranges. They require high relative permittivity, low loss factors, and minimal temperature coefficient of permittivity.
  • Key Material Properties:
    • Electric Constant (ε0): Defined as the permittivity of vacuum, a fundamental constant used in material evaluation.
    • Relative Permittivity (εr): The ratio of a material’s absolute permittivity to the electric constant, critical for material selection.
    • Loss Angle and Loss Factor: Quantitative measures of energy dissipation in dielectric materials.
    • Quality Factor (Q0): Inversely proportional to loss, the quality factor expresses the material’s efficiency in frequency-dependent applications.
    • Temperature Coefficient of Permittivity (TCε): Indicates how permittivity changes with temperature, important for maintaining device stability across varying environments.
    • Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (α): Describes dimensional stability of the material under temperature changes.

Applications

The standardized terminology and definitions serve a variety of practical applications, including:

  • Design and Manufacturing: Assists manufacturers and designers in the selection and characterization of materials for dielectric resonators and supports precision in frequency control devices for telecommunications, broadcasting, and radar systems.
  • Quality Assurance and Testing: Ensures consistent interpretation of material properties, facilitating reliable performance evaluation and quality control.
  • Standard Development: Provides foundational terms for IEC Technical Committee 49 and other standards bodies developing documents for piezoelectric and dielectric devices.
  • International Trade and Compliance: Supports global trade by establishing uniform definitions, reducing barriers caused by differing terminology in technical documentation.

Related Standards

  • IEC 61338-1:2004 – Waveguide type dielectric resonators – Generic specification. This standard provides further definitions and specifications for dielectric resonators and is indispensable for professionals working with dielectric materials in frequency control devices.
  • IEC TS 61994 Series – The broader series offers comprehensive glossaries and technical references for piezoelectric and dielectric devices, covering a wide range of materials and component types.

Practical Value

By adopting IEC TS 61994-4-3:2008, organizations and professionals ensure precise communication, improve compatibility of materials in global markets, and enhance the reliability of dielectric devices used for frequency control and selection. This standard supports the effective development, application, and maintenance of electronic components, contributing directly to advancements in wireless communications, sensors, and high-frequency systems.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
