Abstract
A novel robust approach for permittivity measurements of liquid materials in a wide frequency range is proposed. A high-sensitivity microwave-fluidic sensor is developed enabling direct determination of liquid samples' permittivity from the measured sensor's propagation constant. Importantly, neither sensor calibration using liquid standards nor sensor's geometry (except length) information is required, which is very advantageous for industrial applications. This is achieved through the sensor's geometry, which is a two-wire transmission line (TWL) encapsulated in a 3-D printed container, and thus, the liquid-under-test fully encloses the propagating electromagnetic waves. The measurement setup comprises the sensor cascaded between two microstrip-to-TWL transitions for which a simplified de-embedding procedure is proposed using only a THRU standard. For demonstration, a setup was developed with transitions operating within 1-10 GHz and tested up to 18 GHz by measurement of a set of alcohols to produce useful data within the transition bandwidth, which can be extended at the cost of increased uncertainty by postprocessing. Finally, the measurement error study has shown that a relatively low uncertainty and error with respect to the reference is obtained, verifying the usability of the developed measurement technique.
