An automated resonant waveguide cavity system for determining one or complex permittivity measurements of a sample is provided. The automated resonant waveguide cavity system includes a resonant cavity, a waveguide coupled to the resonant cavity, a programmable network analyzer (PNA) coupled to the waveguide, and a computing device. The computing device includes a memory storing processor executable code for a determination engine and a processor executing the processor executable code to cause the determination engine to obtain data from the PNA. The data is respective to the sample within the resonant cavity. The determination engine further integrates a plurality of analytical and modeling functions in determining the complex permittivity values of the sample from the data.

The invention describes a non-contact system and a method for a microwave-based imaging solution for non-destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation of an area under testing (AUT) of assets such as facades, cladding systems, concrete pillars, concrete walls, bridges, tunnels, and dams. The system is comprised of a combination of a various subsystems including but not exclusive to: a front-end subsystem, a system-in-package (SiP) subsystem, and a signal processing subsystem responsible for 3D imaging and detection of defects of the asset.

Methods for determining variability in a state of a medium, include monitoring the medium and determining the variability in the state of the medium based on the processing of the response over time based on the response detected at the at least one receive element over time. Monitoring the medium can include generating a transmit signal, transmitting it into the medium using a transmit element, and receiving a signal from the medium at a receive element. The transmit and receive elements can be decoupled from one another. The transmit and receive elements can have differing geometry. The determined variability in the state of the medium can be used to provide notifications and/or take automated actions.
