Determination of Moisture Content in Oil Palm Fruits Using a Five-Port Reflectometer
This paper presents the development of a PC-based microwave five-port reflectometer for the determination of moisture content in oil palm fruits. The reflectometer was designed to measure both the magnitude and phase of the reflection coefficient of any passive microwave device. The stand-alone reflectometer consists of a PC, a microwave source, diode detectors and an analog to digital converte...
متن کاملNew Structure for a Six-Port Reflectometer in Monolithic Microwave Integrated-Circuit Technology
This paper presents a new structure for a six-port reflectometer which due to its simplicity can be implemented very easily in monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) technology. It uses nonmatched diode detectors with a high input impedance which are placed around a phase shifter in conjunction with a power divider for the reference detector. The circuit has been fabricated using the F2...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Symmetric Ring Junction as Four-Port Reflectometer for Complex Reflection Coefficient Measurements
Six-port reflectometer is well-known for its ability to measure magnitude and phase-shift of microwave signal using four power detectors that perform magnitudeonly measurements. This paper presents the development of an innovative symmetric ring junction as four-port reflectometer for complex reflection coefficient measurements. It reduces the number of required detectors to two. Design optimiz...
متن کاملDesign of a Six-Port Reflectometer for a Microwave Breast Cancer Detection System
The design of a wideband microwave reflectometer for the purpose of inclusion in a breast cancer detection system is presented. In this system, a wideband frequency source is used to synthesize a narrow pulse via the stepfrequency synthesis method. The reflectometer undertakes measurements in frequency domain and the collected data is transformed into time/space domain using IFFT. In order to a...
متن کاملA new robust method for six-port reflectometer calibration
A new robust method for finding the parameters of Engen’s six-port-to-four-port reduction algorithm for sixport reflectometer calibration has been developed. Like other previously published methods, it uses a minimum of five loads with an unknown but constant absolute value of the reflection coefficient and unknown but well-distributed phases. However, the quality of the parameter estimates is ...
