The use of combined embedded modulated scattering technique and near-field microwave nondestructive testing techniques is investigated as a novel method for evaluating the dielectric properties of a material. The forward formulation for determining the reflection coefficient at the aperture of a waveguide radiating into a dielectric half-space in which a PIN diode-loaded dipole (i.e., modulated scattering technique probe) is embedded is presented. This formulation is based upon calculating the near-field coupling between the waveguide and the dipole as a mutual impedance.

The use of combined embedded modulated scattering technique and near-field microwave nondestructive testing techniques is investigated as a novel method for evaluating the dielectric properties of a material. The forward formulation for determining the reflection coefficient at the aperture of a waveguide radiating into a dielectric half-space in which a PIN diode-loaded dipole (i.e., modulated scattering technique probe) is embedded was presented in Part I of this paper. Here, in Part II, the recalculation of the dielectric properties, using the results of the forward model, is presented along with some associated experimental results.

This paper considers the case of a wide-band Lorentzian (WBL) algorithm in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modeling of dispersive media. It is shown herein that the WBL model is a physically meaningful and practically useful case of the frequency behavior of materials along with the Debye and narrow-band Lorentzian (NBL). The recursive convolution algorithms for the finite-difference time-domain technique for NBL and WBL models differ. The Debye model, which is suitable for comparatively low-frequency dispersive materials, may not have sufficient number of parameters for describing the wide-band material, especially if this material exhibits pronounced absorption at higher frequencies. It is …
