Abstract :
A new application of a large, computer-controlled open resonator is described. Measurement of the extinction cross-sections of samples of wet materials are recorded very quickly and continuously throughout the drying period. The measurements may be taken throughout the interval 8-12 GHz and provide a complete record of the drying process
