Abstract:
1. A system for processing a signal received while operating a guided microwave spectroscopy device, comprising: (a) a variable frequency signal source; (b) a test chamber, the test chamber containing a material under test; (c) a received signal path, the received signal path containing radio frequency energy initially generated by the variable frequency signal source after the radio frequency energy has been altered by passing through the material under test; (d) a plurality of received signal amplifiers, each received signal amplifier being interconnected to the received signal path, each received signal amplifiers producing an output signal, and; (e) a computer, the computer being interconnected to the plurality of received signal paths, the computer being programmed to determine parameters of the material under test in response to the output signal produced by each of the plurality of received signal amplifiers.
