Abstract in another language
It is known that electrochemical systems can be investigated nondestructively through their interaction with electromagnetic fields or waves. In particular, microwaves have been demonstrated to be of value in this context. However, the microwave-based monitoring of electrochemical systems such as catalytic converters has only been demonstrated on test benches with laboratory equipment such as vector network analyzers. We propose a measuring system based on a scalar reflectometer operating at frequencies between 1 and 6 GHz to solve this issue. The contribution describes its design, its characteristics, and its performance in connection with estimating resonance frequencies from which catalyst properties can be inferred. Special emphasis has been placed on taking into account the typical constraints encountered in
field applications. These include: limited computational power; high electric losses in the catalytic materials,
hence microwave resonances with low Q; and dynamic processes, hence limited measurement times.
