ABSTRACTThe vector network analyzer readily lends itself to a variety of techniques for measuring material properties. The open-ended coaxial probe is one technique that allows swept frequency measurements of permittivity. The open-ended coaxial probe technique requires little or no sample preparation and can make non-destructive measurements on a variety of materials. It is especially suited for materials in liquid or semi-solid form. An understanding of network analyzer calibration and the coaxial probe model provides insight into calibration techniques that minimize systematic errors. This understanding also.facilitates the extension of measurement conditions beyond normal measurement constraints leading to a simple procedure which provides a first order correction of perturbations to the systematic errors.

Abstract This paper focuses on the calibration of apertures for rectangular waveguides using open-short-load (OSL) standards and transmission-line (TL) approaches. The reflection coefficients that were measured using both calibration techniques were compared with the coefficients acquired using the thru-reflect-line (TRL) method. In this study, analogous relationships between the results of OSL calibration and TL calibration were identified. In the OSL calibration method, the theoretical, open-standard values are calculated from quasi-static integral models. The proposed TL calibration procedure is a simple, rapid, broadband approach, and its results were validated by using the OSL calibration method and by comparing the results with the calculated integral admittance. The quasi-static integral models were used to convert the measured reflection coefficients to relative permittivities for the infinite samples and the thin, finite samples

ABSTRACTA vector network analyzer combined with an open ended coaxial probe provides a way to make non-destructive measurements of complex permittivity. These measurements can be made on both solids and liquids.Many authors have done work on using an open ended coaxial line for making these measurements[1][2][3]. They have presented different techniques for modelling the coaxial probe. This paper does not focus on the area of modelling, but deals instead with the use of a vector network analyzer and coaxial probe in making measurements. To enhance measurement accuracy, the technique described adapts a calibration technique currently in use in vector network analysis.An HP 8720B vector network analyzer was used for the development and measurements presented in this paper.

Definition Of

In this paper, we propose a measurement method with a simple procedure based on the definition of the impedance parameter using a two-port network analyzer. The main advantage of the proposed measurement method is that there is no limit on the number of measuring coils, and the method has a simple measurement procedure. To verify the proposed method, we measured the coupling coefficient among three coils with respect to the distance between the two farthest coils at 6.78 and 13.56 MHz, which are frequencies most common for a wireless power transfer (WPT) system in high-frequency band. As a result, the proposed method showed good agreement with results of the conventional S-parameter measurement methods.

The present study compares the performance of different multivariate calibration techniques applied to four near-infrared data sets when test samples are well within the calibration domain. Three types of problems are discussed: the nonlinear calibration, the calibration using heterogeneous data sets, and the calibration in the presence of irrelevant information in the set of predictors. Recommendations are derived from the comparison, which should help to guide a nonchemometrician through the selection of an appropriate calibration method for a particular type of calibration data. A flexible methodology is proposed to allow selection of an appropriate calibration technique for a given calibration problem.

Wall slip of suspensions in confined flow is caused by segregation of a thin layer of liquid phase adjacent to the walls. This causes the bulk phase to slide along the walls, which means that the fluid flow velocities respective to the walls are not zero. In rheometers this affects the evaluation of the rheological properties. Despite the importance of understanding and controlling segregation effects, little research has been done on this subject area. Indeed in industrial casting, the die filling behaviour, and therefore the product quality, may depend on the segregation phenomena. It is important to understand the wall slip phenomenon’s correlation with experimental parameters, as a step towards casting process optimization. Two issues are handled in the present work, the first is the evaluation of different methods to investigate the wall slip effect, the second is the investigation of the wall slip effect dependency on the suspension parameters particle size and solid fraction, respectively. The suspensions employed for the investigations were the aluminium alloy A356 in semi-solid form and a “synthetic suspension” built up of glass spheres in silicon oil. As a result of the above described investigations, influence of suspension parameters are found, and a validated method to avoid the wall slip effect is suggested.
