Abstract
A probe is described. The probe includes a probe antenna, a transmitter, a receiver and circuitry including hardware. The probe antenna is constructed of a dielectric material connected to a waveguide, the probe antenna has a far field region. The transmitter is coupled to the probe antenna. The receiver is coupled to the probe antenna. The hardware is configured to communicate with the transmitter to enable the transmitter to direct a pulse of electromagnetic energy to the probe antenna and to receive a reflection signal from the receiver, the hardware is configured to determine a material property of a material within the far-field region of the probe antenna by analyzing the reflection signal.
