1. A microwave sensor probe comprising:
- a probe housing;
an emitter body coupled to said probe housing;
an emitter coupled to said emitter body, said emitter configured to generate an electromagnetic field from at least one microwave signal; and
at least one electromagnetic absorbent member configured to absorb at least one of a current transmitted through said emitter that is reflected back into the emitter from the emitter itself and an electromagnetic radiation generated by said emitter that is reflected back into the emitter from the emitter itself.

Abstract
A microwave sensor probe includes a probe housing, an emitter body coupled to the probe housing, and an emitter coupled to the emitter body. The emitter is configured to generate an electromagnetic field from at least one microwave signal. At least one electromagnetic absorbent member is configured to absorb at least one of a current transmitted through the emitter and an electromagnetic radiation generated by the emitter.
