Abstract A method for
investigating the rectilinear motion of an object inside a microwave cavity resonator
is presented. The resonant mode to be used in the experiments is selected
according to the results of computations based on perturbational
theory. A practical procedure for finding the cavity response on the object's
location along the cavity axis is described. The comparison of this response
with that obtained during the actual motion yields the plot representing the
dependence on time of the object's position. The proposed method is applied
for studying the movement of a ball in free fall or in a viscous medium. Key Words: Microwaves, Cavity
perturbation, Motion, Speed measurement, Viscosity measurement. |
