Microwave Field Visualizing Sensors for Microwave Processing

In the field of microwave processing, the characteristics of processing applicator to radiate microwave energy to the material change largely and this cause to reduce absorbing power to the processing material and to reduce the efficiency of the applicator. In this study, a microwave visualizing devices with temperature measuring function of the heating medium have been developed. The device is activated by magnetic field of microwave field energy. The energy converting devices which installed temperature sensor can visualize temperature with microwave magnetic field strength inside microwave processing medium. Furthermore, the application of energy converting devices are applicable to realize hybrid energy irradiation system in microwave power application.
