Summary: 
An improved reflection wave method was described for measurement of complex permittivity of low-loss materials over 100MHz-1GHz range. The residual impedance Zr and stray admittance Ys surrounding the test sample, which terminated the transmission line, were evaluated using sapphire as a reference material. The correction by the obtained Zr and Ys gave accurate values of complex permittivities of alumina and mullite ceramics as 100MHz-1GHz.
