Abstract :
The implementation of a low cost driving electronic for a permittivity measurement system employing resonant microwave sensors is presented in this paper. The complete driving electronics needed to perform scalar measurements is described and its components are illustrated and characterized. The measurement results and accuracy have been compared with commercial devices showing similar performances
