In this study, a loss-compensated microwave (MW) planar sensor is used to characterize fluids at ~1 GHz. The environmental temperature is shown to adversely impact the recorded resonance frequency of the MW sensor, leading to data mixing. This issue is resolved using a feedforward artificial neural...
