title = "A Cavity System for Seawater Dielectric Measurements at P-Band",
abstract = "This paper describes a new system for measuring the dielectric constant of seawater near 700 MHz. The purpose of this research is to obtain data at P-band for the dielectric constant of seawater that can be combined with previous L-band data for developing a model function valid from 500 MHz to 2000 MHz. A transmission-type cylindrical cavity has been constructed with the text\{TM\}-\{010\} mode resonance occurring near 700 MHz. The seawater is introduced via a capillary quartz tube. The dimensions of the cavity have been determined by electromagnetic modelling. The model takes the cavity wall loss into account and can provide accurate estimation of resonance condition for both the empty cavity and cavity with seawater. The errors between the theory and measurement are about 0.07\% for the resonant frequency and 0.4\% for the quality factor, Q. The cavity design, experimental setup and measurement schedule will be presented in the paper.",
