Book Description
Simple sets of equations were derived to describe the absorption of microwave power (MP) in 3-region, lossy transmission lines in terms of S-parameter reflection and transmission amplitudes. Different sets of equations were derived to describe different assumptions about the amplitudes of the reflection coefficients at the different boundaries. These equations were used to analyze S-parameter measurements on a transmission line that had a microfluidic channel in its middle region. The channel was empty for one set of measurements and filled with water for a second set of measurements. Most of the reflection assumptions considered here produced similar results for the fraction of the applied MP that was absorbed by a water-filled microchannel. Ill.
