Conductive nanomaterials are widely studied and used. The four-point probe method has been widely used to measure nanomaterials' sheet resistance, denoted as . However, for materials sensitive to contamination or physical damage, contactless measurement is highly recommended if not required. Feasibility of evaluation using a one-port rectangular waveguide working on the microwave band in a contact-free mode is studied. Compared with existed waveguide methods, the proposed method has three advantages: first, by introducing an air gap between the waveguide flange and the sample surface, it is truly contactless; second, within the specified range of , the substrate's effect may be neglected; third, it does not require a matched load and/or metallization at the sample backside. Both theoretical derivation and simulation showed that the magnitude of the reflection coefficient decreased monotonously with increasing . Through calibration, a quantitative correlation of and was established. Experimental results with various conductive glasses showed that, for in the range of ~10 to 400 Ohm/sq, the estimation error of sheet resistance was below ~20%. The potential effects of air gap size, sample size/location and measurement uncertainty of are discussed. The proposed method is particularly suitable for characterization of conductive glass or related nanomaterials with in the range of tens or hundreds of Ohm/sq.
