Abstract

The use of microwave frequency radiation as an alternative energy source for processing materials is currently receiving considerable worldwide attention. The ability of a material to extract energy from the microwave field depends upon its dielectric properties, however these change as the material heats. There is, therefore, a need for obtaining measurements of the microwave dielectric properties at elevated temperatures. This paper outlines some of the current work on high temperature dielectric measurements which is in progress at the University of Nottingham as part of the Materials and Microwave Processing Group initiative and some results on engineering ceramics are presented.
