}The goal of this report is to provide a comprehensive guide for researchers in the area of measurements of lossy dielectric and magnetic materials with the intent of assembhng the relevant information needed to perform and interpret dielectric measurements on lossy materials in one place. The report should aid in the selection of the most relevant methods for particular applications. We emphasize the metrology aspects of the measurement of lossy dielectrics and the associated uncertainty…
