Resonator Method for Studying Dielectric Characteristics of Caustobiolithes

For the sub-THz range, a method for studying the electrodynamic characteristics of organic materials - caustobiolithes-is developed on the basis of a resonator spectrometer. In the frequency range 110 divided by 260 GHz, the dielectric parameters (refractive index n and tan delta) of peat powders after its microwave processing in the process of "soft" pyrolysis, as well as core sections of oil-containing rock, were studied. The influence of natural humidity on the dielectric parameters of the samples is considered. The reasons for the spread of measurement results, which is observed in these materials and is their specific feature, are discussed.
