<p>We propose a low-cost, easy-to-fabricate, contactless microwave sensor for dielectric characterization of liquids. The design of the proposed sensor is based on a multiple complementary split-ring resonator (MCSRR) fabricated on a low-cost FR-4 substrate. A glass capillary tube having an inner diameter of 0.008λ<sub>0</sub> is inserted in the high electric field region of the MCSRR to carry the liquid under test. The sensor is designed to operate at a resonant frequency of 2.45GHz for an empty tube and shifted resonant peaks are utilized for the dielectric characterization of different liquids. The maximum observed shifts in resonant frequency and Q factor are up to 400MHz and 31, respectively. The numerically established relations are experimentally verified through fabricated sensor for various binary mixtures of water and ethanol. The percentage errors between the calculated and reference permittivity of different samples are noticed to be less than 5%. The proposed device promises to be a cost-effective and convenient solution for accurate dielectric characterization of liquids and their binary aqueous solutions.<b></b></p>

This paper presents an active microwave sensor for the characterization of dielectric materials. The sensor is consisted of a microstrip complementary split-ring resonator (MCSRR) structure and an active feedback loop. The loop uses an amplifier to generate negative resistance to compensate the resonator’s loss and increase the loaded quality factor. The developed sensor possesses the advantages of high quality factor, ultra-small electrical size, and high sensitivity. A prototype of the sensor is fabricated and measured for validation.
