Extract

The measurement of temperature in a microwave field is critical to the understanding of many phenomena which occur in materials heated in such an environment. Researchers have employed many techniques [1–4] to measure temperature in an electromagnetic field. This work examined three approaches: the use of a thermocouple, an IR meter, and a d. c. resistance technique.
