Abstract :
Basic theoretical analyses to detect undesirable foreign metal pieces in the meat being processed have already been carried out. In this study, taking the low conductivity of meat into account, a double-layered spherical sample structure which enables easy analyses was selected. In order to detect these conductive materials, analyses of the difference in the impedance of a circular coil with, and another one without, a double-layered spherical conductor were made. In this way, a new formula for obtaining the electromagnetic properties of a double-layered spherical sample was derived. The process of deriving the new formula is explained. The calculated value was compared with the experimental value. Their values had a close correlation
