Amplitude-only measurements of a dual open ended coaxial sensor system for determination of complex permittivity of materials

This paper describes a novel permittivity measurement technique using dual open ended coaxial sensors. The magnitudes of the re∞ection coe-cient from two open ended coaxial sensors were used to determine complex re∞ection coe-cients and permittivity of a sample under test.
