Abstract A practical version of a homodyne method for measuring the complex permittivity of high loss liquids at 3 and 9 GHz is described. The systematic errors are discussed in detail, because the homodyne method seems to be suitable as a simple standard method for precise measurements. The results of measurements on water in the temperature range 6 °C-45 °C are presented. The determination of all five parameters of the Debye function is possible. Finally, accuracy limiting factors for the determination of the relaxation parameters are discussed in detail
