Claim 16:
17. A method for establishing data related to candidate liquid configurations for use in monitoring slosh of a liquid within a propellant tank without requiring use of a moving part, the method comprising:
establishing a specified electromagnetic field configuration within the tank using an electromagnetic transmitter at a first location;
sensing an electromagnetic field established within the tank by the electromagnetic transmitter using an electromagnetic receiver at a different second location; and
using a control circuit, associating an independently measured characteristic of a spatial configuration of the liquid with at least one determined value associated with a frequency-domain resonance corresponding to the sensed electromagnetic field, the frequency-domain resonance excited by the electromagnetic transmitter using a swept-frequency excitation scheme.
