5.1 Introduction<br />

• <strong>TDR</strong> Measurements in Highly Conductive Materials<br />

remote diode shortening<br />

coated <strong>TDR</strong> probes<br />

• Sampling Area <strong>of</strong> Coated <strong>TDR</strong> Probe and <strong>the</strong> Effective<br />

Measured Dielectric Constant<br />

The sample volume is <strong>the</strong> region <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> porous medium that contributes to <strong>the</strong><br />

total probe response: changes in <strong>the</strong> properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> porous medium outside<br />

this volume do not have significant influence on <strong>the</strong> response <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> instrument.<br />
