摘要
A rectangular waveguide resonator operating in the H105 mode at 3.2 GHz was used in determining the change in resonant frequency, ∆, and the Q factor of the cavity, ∆T, when measured with and without single corn kernels of various shapes and dimensions. By measuring those variables for a kernel oriented in two positions, differing by a 90° rotation with respect to the maximum E-field vector, the average values of ∆T and ∆T were found to be quite independent of shape. The ratio ∆F/∆T is independent of size and is a function of the material properties (ἐ-1)ἒ. This function is shown to be related to the material density, the moisture content, or other characteristics when all other properties except the one selected remain unchanged. © 1990 IEEE
