Complimentary split ring resonator sensor with high sensitivity based on material characterization

Abstract

A new model of microwave planar sensor established on the complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) as well as an air hole in substrate of the structure is introduced for a precise measurement of materials permittivity. The hole is filled into substrate of the planar microstrip line. The CSRR structure with hole is selected for the sensitivity analysis, the result is established to hold over quite sensitive compared with CSRR structure without hole and thus evidence to be more suitable for the sensor design. The sensor in the form of CSRRs operating at a 1.74-3.4 GHz band is explained. At resonance, it is found that the electric field produced straight the plane of CSRR being highly sensitive for the characterization of sample resident with the sensor. The minimum transmission frequency of sensor shifts from 3.4 to 1.74 GHz as the sample permittivity varies from 1 to 10. A numerical paradigm is introduced herein for the computation of the system resolution as a assignment of resonance frequency and sample permittivity using electromagnetic simulator. It is found that the proposed sensor provides 35% increment in sensitivity more than conventional sensor for same permittivity of the specimen.

Seawater salinity modelling based on electromagnetic wave characterization

“…Another study has discussed antenna material [19] followed by [20] that could be used in wireless applications based on material permittivity, while trough gathering more electrical properties could achieve notable power radiation. Nevertheless, in [21] the liquid material characterization had been explored via dielectric characterization with unadvisable measurement of liquid samples due to the repetitive process of opening and closing the lid of the cavity that could lead to errors in the measurement process.…”
