  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING THE PHASE CONSTANT FOR A DIELECTRIC MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20110267215
    Abstract: A method for determining a phase constant for a dielectric medium is provided. The method includes deploying a calibration object with a known free-space spectral response within a dielectric medium of interest, determining the spectral response of the calibration object deployed in the dielectric medium, and determining the phase constant for the dielectric medium using a relationship between the free-space spectral response of the calibration object and the spectral response of the calibration object when deployed in the dielectric medium.
    Type: Application
