Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention includes a transmission line and a quasi-coaxial structure unit connected to the transmission line and having a first opening having a first opening diameter. The transmission line has a characteristic impedance that is the same as a characteristic impedance at a connection portion of a dielectric spectroscopy system. The present invention further includes an opening diameter adjustment unit connected to the quasi-coaxial structure unit, having one end having a predetermined characteristic impedance, and having the other end serving as a second opening having a second opening diameter different from the first opening diameter.
