ABSTRACT:
A device for analyzing the contents of a container includes electromagnetic field emitting/receiving means (40) at least several frequencies in a determined range of frequencies, means (22) supporting a container (R), the contents of which have to be analyzed, suitable for ensuring accurate relative positioning between the emitting/receiving means (40) and the container (R), means (50) capable of measuring the complex impedance of the emitting/receiving means influenced by the load formed by the container (R) and its contents, representative of the complex dielectric characteristics of the container and of its contents, means (53, 55) for obtaining at least one additional physical datum relating to a characteristic of the container (R), and means (50) capable of providing information relating to the nature of the contents of said container (R) depending on the measured complex impedance and on the additional physical datum.
