  The performance of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) damping rings (DR) is likely to be limited by collective effects due to the unprecedented brilliance of the beams. Coating will be used in both electron (EDR) and positron damping rings (PDR) to suppress effects like electron cloud formation or ion instabilities. The impedance modeling of the chambers, necessary for the instabilities studies which will ensure safe operation under nominal conditions, must include the contribution from the coating materials applied for electron cloud mitigation and/or ultra-low vacuum pressure. This advocates for a correct characterization of this impedance in a high frequency range, which is still widely unexplored. The electrical conductivity of the materials in the frequency range of few GHz is determined with the waveguide method, based on a combination of experimental measurements of the complex transmission coefficient S21 and CST 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulations.
