Notes:
A new instrumentation system for measuring wide frequency band complex permittivity (1 MHz–2 GHz) during the microwave curing process has been developed using an original system coupled with coaxial discontinuity. The instrumentation operates through the automatic commutation of the wide frequency band cell on a power supply or a probe supply. This system allows the use of different heating frequencies (215 MHz, 434 MHz, or 2.45 GHz) with the same cell. This instrumentation has been used to study microwave curing compared with conventional heating, but it can also be applied to the use of microwaves in chemical processes or to study the biological effects of microwaves. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
