This paper describes a highly, sensitive, accurate, rugged and reliable microprocessor controlled device using low level microwave energy for non-intrusive real time measurement and recording of ice growth history, including ice thickness and accretion rate. New experimental data is presented, obtained with the instrument, which demonstrates its ability to measure ice growth on a two-dimensional airfoil mounted in the NASA Lewis Research Center's Icing Research Tunnel. The device is suitable for aircraft icing protection. It may be mounted flush, non-intrusively, on any part of an aircraft skin including rotor blades and engine inlets.
