Purity Detection of Some Liquids by Using Reflection Values Based on Metamaterial

Abstract

The aim of this work is to design and fabricate a type of sensor based on Metamaterials. This structure determines the purity of Methanol and Ethanol mixture in the water by using the Octagonal form of a resonator and sample holder. The proposed structure has been employed in the 8-12 GHZ frequency band. The important thing in the work is the changes of the waveform at the resonance frequency. The output waveform of materials (reflection coefficient S11 or transmission coefficient S12) must be changed in the liner figure by considering the dielectric coefficient. We use copper for the metal layer and resonator and Isola IS680 (3.2DK) (lossy) for substrate layer. We simulate one unit cell of this Meta-material sensor by CST microwave software and then achieve the results and evaluate them. Both the numerical and experimental tests, give the same outcomes and results and they will be in good agreement with each other. The proposed structure can be used in many applications where purity and determining of some materials might be necessary.
