A time-domain free-space extraction procedure is proposed to uniquely determine the relative complex permittivity ϵr (ω) based on two sets of natural frequencies of the metal-and air-backed dielectric samples. A graphical analysis is applied for evaluating whether unique ϵr (ω) can be extracted using such natural frequencies. The method is numerically validated using two dielectric samples with different ϵ (ω) for the ideal case (no noise) and under the influence of noise with different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
