Abstract :
Presents a strategy for sizing aerosols and water droplets in air using multiwavelength and multisensor technology. The proposed optical-microwave measurement method is based upon the assumptions that the particles to be sized are spherical and traverse a uniform field of plane waves. The optical-microwave system with fixed differential frequency shift fm between two beams of different wavelength has two microwave detectors and two detector receiving optics. Mie and Rayleigh theory are used in this analysis
