Application of Below-Cutoff Waveguides for Pyrometric Measurements

Аннотация

We consider the problems of measuring the temperature of objects heated in high-power microwave installations and show the advantages of using pyrometers for these purposes as compared with thermocouple temperature meters. The procedure of finding the characteristics of below-cutoff waveguides with circular cross sections intended for application in combination with pyrometric sensors is described. We also present the plots for the rapid evaluation of the geometric parameters of circular below-cutoff waveguides depending on the required inserted attenuation. An example of application of a circular below-cutoff waveguide in combination with a KM-1 pyrometer is presented.
