        radio frequency (SRF) technology is widely adopted in particle
        accelerators. There remain many open questions, however, in
        developing a systematic understanding of the fundamental
        behavior of SRF materials, including niobium treated in
        different ways and various other bulk/thin film materials that
        are fabricated with different methods under assorted conditions.
        A facility that can measure the SRF properties of small samples
        in a range of 2~40 K temperature is needed in order to fully
        answer these questions. The Jefferson Lab surface impedance
        characterization (SIC) system has been designed to attempt to
        meet this requirement. It consists of a sapphire-loaded
        cylindrical Nb TE<sub>011</sub> cavity at 7.4 GHz with a 50 mm
        diameter flat sample placed on a non-contacting end plate and
        uses a calorimetric technique to measure the radio frequency
        (RF) induced heat on the sample. Driving the resonance to a
        known field on this surface enables one to derive the surface
        resistance of a relatively small localized area. Tests with
        polycrystalline and large grain bulk Nb samples have been done
        at &lt;15 mT magnetic field. Based on BCS surface impedance,
        least-squares fittings have been done using SuperFit2.0, a code
        developed by G. Ciovati and the author.<o:p></o:p></span></font>

          and SRF measurements of large scale epitaxial MgB2 films have
          been reported. MgB2 films on 5 cm dia. sapphire disks were
          fabricated by a Hybrid Physical Chemical Vapor Deposition
          (HPCVD) technique. The electron-beam backscattering
          diffraction (EBSD) results suggest that the film is a single
          crystal complying with a MgB2(0001)//Al2O3(0001) epitaxial
          relationship. The SRF properties of different film thicknesses
          (200 nm and 350 nm) were evaluated using SIC system under
          different temperatures and applied fields at 7.4 GHz. A
