Description

This Thesis covers the development of a six-port and slotted waveguide based measurement system for the determination of the variation of moisture content (mc) of stacked lumber. A Six-port reflectometer was developed and used throughout the trials incorporating an automatic calibration system. This was implemented using switched coaxial standards, producing improvement in the long term stability of the six-port. In addition the measurement of the dielectric properties of the typical lumber t...
