Abstract

A sensor is proposed to characterize the complex permittivity of dielectric materials in a non-destructive and non-invasive way. The proposed sensor is based on a rectangular patch microstrip two-port circuit with a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) element. The slotted CSRR element of the sensor plays a key role in determining the electrical properties of the materials under test (MUT). The sensitivity analysis is determined by varying the permittivity of the MUT. The proposed sensor is simulated and analyzed using Ansoft HFSS software. A prototype was fabricated and measurements were made on two different samples of dielectric materials with complex permittivity values available in the literature. The simulated and measured results showed good agreement.
