    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to transmission dielectric probes with at least one channel that extends across the probe. The channel includes a first opening on a first side of the transmission dielectric probe, and a second opening on a second side of the transmission dielectric probe. The first opening and the second opening are on opposite ends of the transmission dielectric probe, and the second opening is associated with an outer surface of the transmission dielectric probe. Additionally, the first opening and the second opening have different diameters, different geometries, or combinations thereof. Further embodiments pertain to methods of operating the transmission dielectric probes by placing the outer surface of the transmission dielectric probe on a surface of an object, transmitting a signal from a first channel through the surface and into the object, and receiving the transmitted signal back through a second channel.
