Abstract: A method and system for characterizing media, in particular dielectric media, using a multifrequency resonator that is positioned remote from the region to be characterized and which is excited and interrogated remotely via inductive coupling to a probe. A reader measures, via a single channel, the complex impedance of this probe when it is coupled to the resonator and when this resonator interacts magnetically with the region to be characterized. The impedance is spectrally analyzed in order to extract therefrom individual complex impedances for each of the resonance frequencies of the resonator. These individual impedances are processed in order to calculate electrical properties of the medium, such as permittivity and/or conductivity, which provide information on the nature and/or change of the medium. Also, a multifrequency resonator provided for such a system or method.

Abstract: An array device composed of individual multifrequency passive resonators which are not electrically connected to one another. These resonators are formed by interrupted transmission lines that close back in on themselves and which are nested within one another, each formed of a group of two or more parallel tracks, and are paired with one another contactlessly around one or more dielectric layers of a substrate.
