Disclosed herein is a method of determining the fracture geometry of a
subterranean fracture comprising introducing into the fracture a target
particle and/or proppant; transmitting into the fracture electromagnetic
radiation having a frequency of about 300 megahertz to about 100
gigahertz; and analyzing a reflected signal from the target particle to
determine fracture geometry. Disclosed herein too is a method of
determining the fracture geometry of a subterranean fracture comprising
introducing into the fracture a target particle and/or proppant; wherein
the target particle and/or proppant comprises a high dielectric constant
ceramic having a dielectric constant of greater than or equal to about 2;
transmitting into the fracture electromagnetic radiation having a
frequency of less than or equal to about 3 gigahertz; and analyzing a
reflected signal from the target particle and/or proppant to determine
fracture geometry.
