The Computer Controlled Microwave Unit, “EMIC”, integrates a microwaves measuring test bench formed by microwaves generator, a kit of different standardized (WR-90) waveguides devices (horns antennas, attenuators, etc), measure devices (power meter, slotted line, etc), a control interface box to connect to the computer and a software for data acquisition and parameters calculation.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box+ Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
