Abstract :
A regenerative digital transducer (RDT) with an active linear response is described. The RDT can be operated in a contact or non-contact mode for moisture measurements in dielectric webs and in liquids or oils flowing inside dielectric pipes. The design is adapted for industrial measurements and on-line purposes.
