Abstract

The analysis of conductor-backed coplanar waveguide moisture sensor by using numerical method is described. The effective dielectric constant, characteristic impedance and dielectric loss of this multi-layer structure are calculated at various moisture contents with respect to protective layer thickness. The analysis shows that calculated values are drastically affected by a small thickness of the protective layer. The experimental results of the attenuation of sensor at various moisture contents agree reasonably with the theoretical data based on the above analysis. The information available from this study is important for estimating of the dynamic range and optimal design of the sensor.
