Conclusions
-
1.
The permittivity of actual media can be measured by means of the polarization method in the uhf range by analyzing the polarization structure of the field of the back-reflected electromagnetic wave.
-
2.
The accuracy in measuring ε is determined basically by the error in tuning and calibrating the receivingtransmitting channels and by the degree of decoupling between the orthogonal-polarization channels. The root-mean-square error in measuring ε is equal to 10–12%.
-
3.
The above method can also be used successfully for determining the electric parameters of media under natural conditions.
