Abstract

A feasibility study has been performed systematically to develop a real-time contactless measurement of the dielectric properties (DP) of composite surface by means of a high-frequency, free-space vector network analyser (VNA) associated with one steel conical horn antenna (mono- static method). Examinations of the dielectric spectra of thermoset epoxy systems over a frequency range of 1kHz to 10GHz have shown
