    Is there a clear and definite way to get complex dielectric permittivity measurements from TDR?

    Is there a method for using the TDR waveform to extract the frequency-dependence of the dielectric constant?

    These two references address the question:

    "Is there a method for using the TDR waveform to extract the frequency-dependence of the dielectric constant?"

Esveld (1996), Frequency-Dependent Dielectric Permittivity from 0 to 1 GHz: Time Domain Reflectometry Measurements Compared with Frequency Domain Network Analyzer Measurements, Water Resour. Res., 32(12), 3603–3610, doi:10.1029/96WR02695.
