摘要： Certain disclosed methods include: transmitting an excitation signal into the MUT and transmitting a reference signal to a set of magnitude and phase (M/P) detectors; receiving the response signal; separately comparing a magnitude and phase for each of the excitation signal and the reference signal with corresponding detection ranges for a first one of the M/P detectors; separately comparing a magnitude and phase for each of the response signal and the reference signal with corresponding detection ranges for a second one of the M/P detectors; iteratively adjusting the excitation signal until the response signal has both a magnitude and a phase within the corresponding detection ranges for the second M/P detector; and iteratively adjusting the reference signal until the reference signal has both a magnitude and a phase within the corresponding detection ranges for the first and the second M/P detectors.

摘要： Various aspects relate to characterizing features of a fluid, for example, during a manufacturing process. In particular aspects, a parallel plate sensor system is disclosed that applies an electromagnetic field over a range of frequencies to a fluid as it flows through a piping system. The system is configured to perform in-process characterization of physical attributes of the fluid as it passes through the piping system. In some cases, the system includes: a transmitting electrode assembly having: a transmitting electrode having a transmitting surface; and a transmitting electrode backer ground plate at least partially surrounding the transmitting electrode; a receiving electrode assembly comprising: a receiving electrode having receiving surface, wherein the receiving surface is smaller than the transmitting surface; and a receiving electrode backer ground plate at least partially surrounding the receiving electrode; and a fluid channel between the transmitting electrode assembly and the receiving electrode assembly, the fluid channel permitting transverse flow
