N2 - In this paper, RF resonant sensor is designed for measurement of complex permittivity of unknown sample. It takes advantage of peano curve fractal geometry (i.e. higher capacitance in minimum area). It operates in the ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) frequency band of 4-5 GHz. An empirical model of sensor is developed for the accurate calculation of complex permittivity of an unknown sample in terms of shifts in the resonant frequencies and reflection coefficients (S11) under loaded condition. Due to homogeneous E-field at fractal capacitor, placement position of sample will not affect the sensitivity. Significant frequency shifts as high as 60 M Hz, 80 M Hz, 116 M Hz and 134 M Hz are observed for relative permittivity of 5.4, 6.5, 8.9 and 10.6 respectively.
