Patent ID: 11925448
Assignee: SPECTROHM, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 12:
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the external means further comprises:
at least one processor operatively electrically connected to the plurality of measurement points; and
a memory storing processor-executable instructions and operatively electronically connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to implement the following operations upon executing the processor-executable instructions:
determining an effective dielectric constant of the spatial region within the inhomogeneous dielectric specimen;
determining whether the effective dielectric constant of the spatial region within the inhomogeneous dielectric specimen is consistent with the rate of the electromagnetic field propagation along the prescribed path;
modulating the electromagnetic field propagation along the prescribed path when the effective dielectric constant of the spatial region within the inhomogeneous dielectric specimen is not consistent with the rate of the electromagnetic field propagation along the prescribed path;
measuring waveforms using the electromagnetic field propagation through the spatial region within the inhomogeneous dielectric specimen; and
determining features of the spatial region within the inhomogeneous dielectric specimen using the waveforms.
