DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF A STRIPLINE RESONATOR SENSOR FOR MEASUREMENT OF RUBBER THICKNESS IN A MOVING WEB

Bhuiya, Md. Omar F

Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science, University of Akron, Electrical Engineering.
A stripline resonator sensor was designed for on-line measurement of rubber thickness. The sensor was designed to provide non contact measurement of rubber thickness with adequate distance between MUT (material under test) and the sensor. The principle of operation of stripline resonator sensor was based on the interaction between microwaves and the matters. The interaction is a form of resonance characteristics of the device versus dielectric constant of the operating medium. After the initial design was completed, a software modeling was performed by using CONCERTO electromagnetic software. A test measurement was taken by changing the rubber thickness to different values and the shift of the resonant frequency was recorded. Once the testing was completed, a comprehensive optimization analysis was performed by changing the physical dimension of the sensor in order to improve the sensitivity. Finally a summary on error contribution from various sources was discussed and the suggestion was presented.
