Open-Ended Coaxial Cable Selection for Measurement of Liquid Dielectric Properties via the Reflection Method

An open-ended coaxial cable is used to measure the dielectric properties of lossy liquid. The method which is based on the measurement of the reflection coefficient of the open-ended cable makes it easy to operate and postprocess. To meet the accuracy requirements, the dimensions of the coaxial cabl...
