This paper shows how Gunn diodes operating in an autodyne, frequency-conversion mode can be used to measure the dielectric constant or the thickness of dielectric materials. The optimal measuring mode is also determined. Better frequency stability of the MES-diode oscillators and the use of precision signal generators will reduce correspondingly the lower limit for the thickness measurements.
