Abstract :
An active microwave system for continuous and contactless measurement of the diameter or basic weight of a low-loss continuous dielectric fiber is described. The frequency of oscillation of a Gunn-diode oscillator is a measure of the diameter of the dielectric fiber passing through the oscillator cavity. Some experimental results are presented and limitations of the method discussed.
