Abstract:
A dielectric waveguide (DWG) may be used to identify a composition of a material that is in contact with the DWG. A radio frequency (RF) signal is transmitted into a dielectric waveguide located in contact with the material. The RF signal is received after it passes through the DWG. An insertion loss of the DWG is determined. The presence of the material may be inferred when the insertion loss exceeds a threshold value. The composition of the material may be inferred based on a correlation with the insertion loss. Alternatively, a volume of the material may be inferred based on a correlation with the insertion loss.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of detecting a material, the method comprising:\n transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal through at least a solid dielectric core of a dielectric waveguide (DWG); receiving the RF signal after it passes through at least the solid dielectric core; determining insertion loss of at least the solid dielectric core; and determining a composition of the material based on a correlation to the insertion loss value.
