Abstract

Resonant coaxial SMA microwave permittivity sensor is introduced. It is constructed using only commercially available SMA connectors. The sensor is tested in two different frequency ranges for two different dielectric constant ranges, from 1 to 10 and from 10 to 80. Presented sensor is designed, fabricated, simulated, and tested. Good agreement between simulations and measurements is shown. The sensor is also applicable for differential permittivity measurements.
