IDEA #1GJD6P Milimeter Wave Dielectrometer For Determination Of Electrical Characteristics Of Liquids

APPLIED RESEARCH • WATERPOLUTION PREVENTION MILIMETER WAVE DIELECTROMETER FOR DETERMINATION OOFF ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OOFF LIQUIDS Description The dielectrometer bases on a high Q(cid:2)factor dielectric res(cid:2) onator (DR). The resonator as semi disk is included in a return circuit of the mm wave Gunn diode that provides high(cid:2)sensitiv(cid:2) ity autodyne mode of realization of measurements. The researched sample of a liquid is located in a capillary located inside of the DR. Volume necessary for researches of a liquid is not more than 0.02 ml. The frequency and signal amplitude at oscillator output are information for determination of the characteristics (complex permittivity) of researched liquids. Innovative aspect and main advantages In contrast of existing analogues the offered device allows car(cid:2) rying out measurements of the complex permittivity of liquids having high losses of energy with high resolution in a mm range of wavelength, thus taking place in small volumes. Dielectrometer does not require an external source of a signal that determines its compactness and small weight. It has high adaptability to manufacture and low cost price. Areas ooff Application 1. Environmental monitoring of water resources, including quality control (pollution) of drinking water. 2. A petroleum(cid:2)refining industry. 3. Medicine and a pharmaceutical industry. 4. The food(cid:2)processing industry. Stage ooff Development Now the laboratory specimen of devices for measurement of liquids electrical properties is created. Its tests are carried out on liquids with the large and small distinction in values of elec(cid:2) tric characteristics (water, acetone, alcohol and their solutions with various percentage of one liquid in another).
