Abstract
An in-line, guided-microwave spectrometer has an antenna mounting assembly that is particularly useful in sanitary applications, such as food processing systems. The antenna mounting assembly reduces the likelihood of leakage that can corrupt the electrical operation of the system. The mounting assembly includes antenna cover plate which has a recess, and a dielectric antenna window body which has a flange which fits into the recess. The seam between the dielectric window body flange and the recess in the cover plate where adhesive is applied is isolated from an area of high pressure due to this configuration. Also, a back cover is preferably mounted over the back side of the antenna cover plate to protect electrical components on the back side of the cover plate during high pressure wash downs.
