Abstract Microwave energy has been used
to both heat and to sense the properties of
continuous filamentary materials. This paper describes a simple microwave
applicator suitable for some applications of this nature. The filament travels parallel to the
direction of energy propagation in a rectangular waveguide partially filled
with a low loss dielectric material.
Energy is coupled to the filament through a longitudinal component of
electric field generated at the air-dielectric interface. |
