Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the complex permittivity of dielectric materials using a coaxial discontinuity and the combination of neural networks (NN) with the finite element method. Two types of measurement cells are used. One is for solid samples and the other one for liquids. Data sets used to train neural networks are created using the finite element method. The number of hidden neurons of the NN is determined by the split-sample method. The designed NN are used for the estimation of the permittivity of several materials and their results compared with the ones obtained with a gradient inversion method.
