Abstract
A procedure is described to enhance the accuracy of microwave measurements of the complex permittivity of a dissipative medium.Monopole probe measurements are used in conjunction with two realβvalued neural networks, which are integrated together to reconstruct the complex permittivity from the measured reflection coefficients. The approach is tested over the frequency range from 2.5 to 5 GHz, for the real part of the permittivity in the range 3β10 and the imaginary part in the range 0β 0.5. The performance of the network is also demonstrated for a reduced frequency range from 3.5 to 5 GHz. Less than 4% error was observed in the presence of white Gaussian noise with an SNR of 10dB.
