Effects of Length and Diameter of Open-Ended Coaxial Sensor on its Reflection Coefficient

چکیده
This paper presents a calibration technique for a coaxial sensor using a transmission signal approach. The sensor was fabricated from commercially available RG402/U and RG405/U semi-rigid coaxial cable. The length of the coaxial sensor was correlated with the attenuation and standing wave inside the coaxial line. The functions of multiple reflection amplitude and tolerance length with respect to the actual length of coaxial line were empirically formulated using regression analysis. The tolerances and the undesired standing wave which occurs along the coaxial line were analyzed in detail.

متن کاملElectromagnetic Characterization of Volcanic Ash
An open-ended coaxial probe is designed for making permittivity measurements on volcanic ash. Reference liquids such as water and methanol are used for calibrating the probe, whose input admittance is related to the complex permittivity by Marcuvitz integral. The reflection coefficient of the probe in the presence of volcanic ash samples from Etna volcano, Italy, is measured from 1 to 15 GHz an...

متن کاملApplications of Artificial Neural Networks to RF and Microwave Measurements
This article describes how artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to benefit a number of RF and microwave measurement areas including vector network analysis (VNA). We apply ANNs to model a variety of on-wafer and coaxial VNA calibrations, including open-short-load-thru (OSLT) and line-reflect-match (LRM), and assess the accuracy of the calibrations using these ANN-modeled standards. We ...
