METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING BASIS WEIGHT AND MOISTURE CONTENT AMOUNT

A resonance frequency shift amount Δf and a peak level change amount ΔP are measured using a microwave resonator, V1 and V2 are obtained based on V1=(Δf·∈″2/Kf−ΔP·∈′2/Kp)/(∈′1·∈″2−∈″1·∈′2), and V2=(Δf·∈″1/Kf−ΔP·∈′1/Kp)/(∈″1·∈′2−∈′1·∈″2), and an absolute dry basis weight and a moisture amount are obtained based on absolute dry basis weight=β·V1, and moisture amount=γ·V2. For the constants Kf, Kp, ∈′1, ∈′2, ∈″1 and ∈″2, the constants ∈′1, ∈′2, ∈″1 and ∈″2 are determined so that the variance values of Kf and Kp are smaller than a predetermined value.
