Abstract
Abstract In this letter, a new microwave sensor of the coaxial resonant cavity with a single-open-ended circuit loaded capacitor is proposed and used to detect the liquids’ complex permittivity. The improved cavity has a higher internal electric field and smaller size when compared with the cylindrical cavity, which gives the sensor a high sensitivity in measuring liquids’ complex permittivity. A coaxial resonant cavity operating in 1.9 GHz was designed in this work. The silicone hose used for the test is inserted vertically from the center of the cavity, and the liquids under test (LUTs) are guaranteed to be 2 ml each time. The dielectric properties of LUTs will cause perturbation to the internal electric field of the cavity. By analyzing the measured data, the sensitivity of the cavity is 0.12%, and the relative errors of the real part of the measured value and the reference value are 3.67%. which shows the measured value has a good agreement with the reference value.
