Abstract

This paper covers the most important design aspects of stripline resonators essential for their applications as sensors for material measurements in industrial processes. A stripline resonator sensor is a section of a stripline transmission line. The paper discusses e.g. the quality factor, the sensitivity and the resonant frequency of the sensor. The article also deals with the use of sensor arrays for fast mapping of the material properties. The effect of the measurement environment is also discussed. Stripline resonator sensors have been developed for measurement of the properties of sheetlike materials or material layers.
