Abstract
The present work deals with electromagnetic simulation results the waveguide cuvette to improve its measuring characteristics by the FDTD method. Improvements have been achieved by optimizing the thickness size and shape of dielectric inserts. Both the module and phase sensitivity of the reflection factor have been increased in 1.5-2 times which have been experimentally confirmed.
KEY WORDS: complex reflection factor, FDTD method, high loss dielectrics, waveguide, measuring cuvette
