Abstract
The new art of engineering branch for electromagnetic-based sensing devices has been developed for different microwave sensor applications. In recent years, the development of microwave technology has emerged in wireless applications for sensing different types of dielectric properties. However, the bigger challenges of the conventional microwave sensor for better performance are dielectric losses, narrow bandwidth, lower effective medium ratio, low sensing performance and lower accumulation of the electromagnetic spectrum. To overcome these shortcomings, a metamaterial incorporated microwave sensor with enhanced is introduced where split ring-based metamaterial increases the compactness of the design and the accumulation of the electromagnetic layer on the conducting surface. In this research article, we investigate a square-shaped dual split ring resonator which is incorporated in the microstrip patch to maximize the performance and compactness. The design simulation is carried out by commercially available CST 2019 where the MUT (material under test) is placed on the proposed sensor. The experimental validation is performed using a vector network analyzer for different MUTs. This proposed sensor has been shown the better wide bandwidth, compactness, high sensing performance, and good linear regression for different dielectric material characterization. The simplicity of the design makes it more compatible for ease of integration with other microwave devices.
