Properties Of Materials

In this paper we propose a study regarding some possibilities that can be offered by a time domain reflectometry (TDR) probe in retrieving both dielectric and magnetic properties of materials. This technique can be of interest for several applications, among which the characterization of soil in some situations. In particular, here we propose an extension of the paper “Retrieving electric and magnetic propetries of the soil in situ: New possibilities”, presented at the IWAGPR, held in Edinburgh in 2017, and as a new contribution we will validate a transmission line model with numerical data simulated by the CST code.

Additional Information

Standard analyses of time‐domain reflectometry (TDR) waveforms in environmental sciences use traveltime along waveguides and reflection amplitude to infer water content and bulk electrical conductivity, respectively. TDR waveforms contain additional information on the frequency‐dependent dielectric permittivity of media, which can be extracted through transformation of TDR waveforms into the frequency domain. The primary objective of this study was to provide a more complete picture of TDR responses in the frequency domain and to improve estimation of dielectric properties. The frequency content of TDR waveforms interacting with various constituents was measured and compared with predictions based on known dielectric properties and waveguide geometries. The study highlights the dominant role of the S11 scatter function, which describes how a TDR signal is modified by media properties and probe configuration. Scatter functions derived from transformed TDR waveforms into the frequency domain were used for estimation of frequency‐dependent dielectric properties of wet soils. The main results were (1) a more complete picture of TDR waveforms in the frequency domain; (2) estimation and use of scatter functions for TDR‐based dielectric permittivity estimation; and (3) highlights of potential usefulness and limitations of a commonly used TDR cable tester (Tektronix 1502B) and waveguide design for estimation of frequency‐dependent dielectric properties of porous media.

The dielectric properties of binary mixtures of benzylamine-1,2,6-hexantriol mixtures at different volume fractions of 1,2,6-hexanetriol have been measured using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 30 GHz. Complex permittivity spectra were fitted using Havriliak–Negami equation. By using least square fit method the dielectric parameters such as static dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]), dielectric constant at high frequency ([Formula: see text]), relaxation time [Formula: see text] (ps) and relaxation distribution parameter ([Formula: see text]) were extracted from complex permittivity spectra at 25[Formula: see text]C. The intramolecular interaction of different molecules has been discussed using the Kirkwood correlation factor, Bruggeman factor. The Kirkwood correlation factor ([Formula: see text]) and effective Kirkwood correlation factor ([Formula: see text]) indicate the dipole ordering of the binary mixtures.
