Abstract. In the paper a method based on Josephson spectroscopy for local
measurement of real dielectric permittivity of different materials with low
losses is demonstrated. Dielectric permittivities of r-cut sapphire εsapphire = 9.6 at f=155,2 GHz and (001) NdGaO3 εNGO = 23 at f=106,4 GHz are obtained.
Key words: terahertz electronics, superconductivity, Josephson junction.
