Abstract :
The author reviews the technical and economic importance of microwave techniques for moisture content determination in industrial processes, pointing out certain areas that require more consideration, and lists the most urgent problems to be solved. Determination of moisture content or water content in materials with microwave radiation has several advantages over other electrical methods applying lower frequencies. Problems concerning the development of microwave equipment for those purposes are also reviewed. Trends in further development of the instrumentation and research concepts are considered
