Abstract

A dual open ended coaxial sensor system to determine complex permittivity was studied in detail. This paper focuses on determination of a reflection coefficient phase from two magnitudes using modified capacitance model from 300 kHz to 8 GHz. The phase information can then be used for calculation of the sample´s complex permittivity. Factors such as range and limitation of the model, sample´s permittivity, operating frequency, and size of sensor were investigated. Sensitivity of calculated phase with respect to small changes in measured magnitude was carried out.
