Abstract

A position detecting device serves for finding the distance between a specimen arranged in a conductive structure and a microwave antenna arrangement of the position detecting device, produced by an inventive method, on the basis of microwaves. The microwave antenna arrangement exhibits a dielectric antenna body provided at least in part with an electrically conductive coating, which constitutes a first and a second pole face on a coupling probe of the microwave antenna arrangement.
