Abstract
A cylindrical waveguide () for analyzing a flowing material () using guided microwave spectroscopy (GMS). Spaced apart plates () each define a plane within the waveguide housing () that is parallel to the direction () of material flow through the waveguide. Two opposed frames () each surround an aperture () that permits access to the region between the waveguide plates (). A microwave probe assembly () is mounted at each frame () to permit the radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves within the housing (). A temperature probe () is inserted into the interior of the housing () via fitting (). A y-shaped assembly () can be used to divide the flow into two separate paths including a diverter vane () that permits flow to be equalized within the two separate flow paths.
