Abstract
The bulls-eye mid-frequency impedance probe has probe electrodes of a larger surface area that conform to the test surface to provide a very low impedance coupling between the probe and surface, unlike other open end coaxial probes. This probe provides accurate measurement of the dielectric properties of dielectric materials in the mid-frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz on flat and curved solid surfaces, while conforming simple or complex curved surfaces by providing a resilient means between the probe contact surface and the probe box.
