Electromagnetic simulations using the 3D FDTD software, Empire XCcel® have been used to characterise some of the properties of this CFSS-Waveguide technique and used in the extraction of the permittivity of these materials. The simulation setup, well-known extraction equations and their modified versions, along with the extracted results are presented in this paper. %I Loughborough University
