A microwave method has been proposed to retrieve the complex permittivity and thickness of lossy dielectric liquids, which result in at least 10 dB attenuation, using reference‐plane‐invariant reflection scattering ( S ‐) parameters. The CST Microwave Studio simulation program was first used to validate the method. Then, the permittivity and thickness of lossy distilled water sample poured over a polyethylene sample holder were measured from reference‐invariant reflection‐only S ‐parameter measurements at the X‐band. The method was compared with other methods in the literature to analyse its accuracy.
