Cylindrical Microwave Resonator Sensors for Measuring Materials Under Flow

摘要

The possibilities of implementing microwave sensors for measuring materialsflowing in pipes are investigated. Focusing on full-bore resonator sensors, two main principles are studied, the principle of resonance below cut-off, and the design using end grids. Various design aspects are studied based on calculations, measurements, and simulations. Suitable for measuring the composition of mixtures of hydrocarbons and water, the sensor has a simple mechanical structure and is less expensive compared to end-grid sensors.
