摘要: A fuel bed was constructed where various vegetation species could be used as combustion fuel. The equipped with a thermocouple to measure fire temperature and two-port automatic network analyser microwave scattering parameters in flame medium. are then determine propagation characteristics fire. measurements have implications on radio wave communication during wildfire suppression remote sensing. attenuation data also provide an estimation of ionisation conductivity. Eucalyptus litter maximum 976 K set the X-band microwaves (7.00 - 9.50 GHz) were caused propagate through flame. Attenuation 0.35 0.90 dB measured for frequency range. For low intensity fire, conductivity range from 0.00021 0.00055 mho/m electron density 1.83 2.24 × 1015 m-3.
