A CSRR-Loaded Planar Sensor for Simultaneously Measuring Permittivity and Permeability.

This letter proposes a microwave planar sensor for the characterization of magnetodielectric materials. The sensor is designed by loading microstrip lines with complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs). Two patches are connected to the microstrip lines to couple with the CSRRs, and a pair of 50- $\Omega $ resistors are in series with the lines to provide a notch. The designed sensor can extract the permittivity and permeability of the magnetodielectric materials simultaneously. A prototype of the designed sensor is fabricated and measured for validation of characterizing the magnetodielectric materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
