- Abstract
This article presents a new approach to determining liquid concentration using a new microwave sensor and polarity correlator. The sensor design incorporates an annular ring resonator having inside three parallel lines, a trapezoid ground plane and a co-planar waveguide (CPW) tapered feeder, which altogether achieve multiple frequency bands. Multiple bands of interest are obtained at the lower end of the microwave spectrum, i.e., from 1–6 GHz, as this region is widely accepted in analyzing various liquid samples. The sensor size is 71 × 40 × 1.6 mm3 with material selection based on an economically available FR4 substrate. The sensor is realized and experimentally validated for its sensitivity by utilizing in-lab prepared aqueous solution samples. Further, liquid concentration is determined by adopting a polarity correlator, which is applied to the sensor's responses obtained at different values.
