Because microwave products in the consumer electronics market are continuous developing, device and component manufacturers have to seek new advanced integration, packaging and interconnection technologies, as size, cost and performance are critical factors for the success of a microwave product. One of the most promising integration technologies is the multilayer low temperature co-fired ceram...

We present a drilling method that is based on the phenomenon of local hot spot generation by near-field microwave radiation. The microwave drill is implemented by a coaxial near-field radiator fed by a conventional microwave source. The near-field radiator induces the microwave energy into a small volume in the drilled material under its surface, and a hot spot evolves in a rapid thermal-runawa...

Microwave nondestructive testing methods become nowadays ever more exploited electromagnetic evaluation method not only dielectric but also metal materials surface and volume homogeneity. A novel microwave sensor created from open waveguide with metamaterial structure for non-destructive testing was developed in an attempt to increase the sensitivity of the microwave nondestructive evaluation m...

background and objectives: red colored fruits such as cornelian cherry (cornus mas l) are recognized as being healthy. the color of these fruits is an important sensory property in assessment of product quality therefore, minimizing the loss of color in the process is very important. materials and methods: in this study, comparison of the color, turbidity, degradation rate of anthocyanin, and r...

Basic principles of a thermo-acoustic method developed for the detection of powerful microwave pulses of nanosecond duration are discussed. A proposed method is based on the registration of acoustic pulse profile originated from the thermal expansion of the volume where microwave energy was absorbed. The amplitude of excited acoustic transient is proportional to absorbed microwave energy and it...

1. Summary Microwave indoor propagation offers a good opportunity for object positioning. The use of the pulse radar method for measuring distances and angles are quite unsuitable for indoor applications. The resolution of this method is too low and there is a minimal distance requirement of the pulse radar measurement that is usually higher than the room size. In this paper the phase method of...

abstractbackground and objective: microwave-assisted extraction (mae) is one of the novel, fast, and efficient methods for extraction of bioactive compounds. the aim of this study was optimization of mae of betalains from red beet (beta vulgaris) and evaluating antioxidant activity of its methanolic extract.materials and methods: the effects of independent variables namely, microwave power leve...

with considering importance of post harvest operation on quality criteria of pot marigold (calendula offıcinalis l.), the effect of flower nutrient source (organic inputs such as cattle manure (25 t ha-1), municipal waste compost (20 t ha-1), spent mushroom compost (15 t ha-1), vermicompost (15 t ha-1) and control) as well as different drying methods including microwave (300, 600 and 900 w), ov...

today special attention has been paid to the microbial quality of medicinal plants.one of the operations in order to maintain the quality of plants is drying which may also affect the quantity and quality of the essential oil. in order to evaluate drying process effect in peppermint,the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. the treatm...
