Dielectric dispersion at low Abstract— The natural reservoirs of Marble stones in the frequency are useful to understand the behavior of induced Mewar region of Rajasthan, India has tremendous commercial polarization in the material while high frequency importance. These decorative stones prevail in wide variety of measurements are helpful in planning ground penetrating colours and textures. The present paper envisages the dielectric characteristics of such stones at X-band microwave frequencies. A radar surveys and microwave remote sensing of the Earth's measurement setup at X-band is described for the experimental geology of the minerals and rocks[9],[10]. The relative determination of relative dielectric constant of various marble permittivity is directly related to the electronic, atomic and stones. The regular pattern of the relative dielectric constant orientational polarization of the material. The first two of varying with microwave frequency is revealed. The Relative these are induced by the applied field, and are caused by dielectric constant and its correlation with the type; structure and displacement of the electrons within the atom, and atoms chemical composition of marble are described in the frequency within the molecule, respectively. The third only exists in range of 8.8 – 12.2 GHz. The real part of the relative dielectric polar materials, i.e. those with molecules having a permanent constant among the different type of marble change in the range of 9.5-1. The chemical composition gives somewhat complex dipole moment. Electronic and atomic polarization are relation as the impurities are different in varied colour marbles. temperature independent, but orientational polarization, The imaginary parts of relative dielectric constant shows that loss depending on the extent to which the applied field can order tangent decreases with increase in frequency in the range of the permanent dipoles against the disordering effect of the 0.00027 – 0.0688. The loss tangents are different for various types thermal energy of their environment, varies inversely with of marbles due to variation in the chemical composition. Further, absolute temperature[13]. In view of the growing importance the relative dielectric constants (both real and imaginary) are of laboratory measurements of electrical properties and also determined and reported for wet marbles in the paper. The measurement data may be of vital importance for microwave keeping in view the scarcity of such data on Indian rocks, we remote sensing applications. have carried out measurement of dielectric constant and loss tangent of some Marbles in the Microwave frequency range Index Terms— Dielectric Constant, Dielectric Loss Tangent, from 8.8 GHz to 12.2GHz using two point method of Marble, X-Band Frequency. rectangular waveguide. In the present paper, we have reported the measurement results of relative dielectric constant and I.

The determination of (Sample W1) and White colour with black spots of fine grain electrical property of minerals and rocks plays a vital role in (Sample W2). Further we have studied the influence of developing electrical and e.m. modeling of the earth’s moisture content of the samples on these properties. forming minerals and rocks [1]. Considerable efforts have Petrographic study of the samples has also been made and it been made to study the effect of variation in bulk density, has been attempted to correlate the observed features with mineralogical composition and crystalline structure of rocks variations of the dielectric properties of measured samples. and minerals, their dielectric measurements over wide range of frequency.
