Conductive cables can influence borehole radar measurements and introduce artifacts into data and therefore must be considered during data analysis and interpretation. This study presents examples of some cable-related effects in data acquired with a radar system that relies on conductive cables for signal transmission. Data show that measurements can be affected when energy radiated from the transmitter antenna induces currents on conductive cables, which can function as an electromagnetic waveguide, allowing fields to propagate along cables and be detected by the receiver antenna. Additionally, periodic artifacts can result when currents traveling on cables reflect at system impedance mismatches.Variable offset soundings (VOS) are not typically conducted during borehole radar studies, but can be useful for recognizing cable-related effects on recorded data and studying propagation characteristics in a borehole. In addition to single-hole VOS measurements, VOS measurements made on the ground surface using E-Plane and H-Plane configurations are shown to have the potential for providing additional insight in regards to coupling mechanisms between borehole antennas and cables. 相似文献

A highly sensitive polarimetry method for measuring small photoinduced parameters, such as the rotation of the polarization azimuth and changes in the ellipticity and degree of depolarization, is developed on the basis of the pump–probe technique. The sensitivity of the polarimetric method under technical and shot-noise fluctuations of the optical power of the probe beam is analyzed, and optimal settings of the polarimeter are found. The method developed is applied to investigations of nanopolyacetylene films using continuous-wave, picosecond, and femtosecond lasers. Typical angles of polarization rotation were 10–5–10–8 rad. 相似文献

We present a polarimetric approach that can be used to characterize subsurface targets by means of ground-penetrating radar. Several quantities related to the Huynen-fork parameters are basic to the study. These quantities are all expressible in terms of the elements of Sinclair matrix S which in turn, can be determined as functions of frequency by an application of the method-of-moment (MoM)—which is briefly reviewed here—to a mine-like object buried at various depths in a soil of specified dielectric and moisture properties. The quantities in question are the Stokes parameters, the elevation, azimuth, and polarizability angles, as well as the polarization ratios and the scattering eigenvalues which optimize the backscattered power. Some of these quantities are studied here and displayed in various graphs. These frequency dependent graphs exhibit useful symmetry properties. The plots of the polarizability angle (β) vs. frequency seem to remain invariant with target depth, and exhibit resonance features that are later shown to agree well with other standard methods to estimate resonances such as Prony method. A simple analysis of the early-time resonances thus estimated is used to obtain acceptable mine dimensions. The agreement found implies that polarimetric techniques, such as present one, can also be used in the arsenal of techniques yielding target-ID clues. 相似文献

In this paper we present the simulation and design of a directional borehole radar. In addition we discuss an imaging method for the radar system. The antenna system contains an electric dipole which is in one direction shielded by a cylindrical perfectly conducting reflector. The radiation pattern of the reflected wavefield is computed by first solving the integral equation. This equation combines the unknown electric surface current density on the reflector and the known incident field from the electric dipole. Once the electric surface current density is known, the radiation pattern of the system is computed using the integral representation over the reflector and the dipole. The radiation patterns for various configurations have been computed in order to find an optimal configuration. A prototype of the antenna system based on an optimal configuration has been built, and the directional radiation pattern has been measured in the plane perpendicular to the antenna system. The measurements were in good agreement with the computations. Subsequently a three dimensional imaging method for the borehole radar is presented. Here a deconvolution is carried out in the angular direction, making use of the computed radiation pattern. Some imaging results will be shown. 相似文献

A full-polarimetric ultra wideband GPR front-end has been developed. The technical specifications of the radar have been determined based on the analysis of different GPR scenarios and based on user-oriented demands. The radar has been designed to meet most of these specifications and at the same time to be within a limited budget. The front-end comprises a generator section, a multi-static antenna system and a receiving unit based on a multi-channel sampling converter. The novelty aspects of the radar are: principally new antenna system, use of multiple pulse generators and compensation circuits to improve stability of the system. In comparison with commercially available video impulse GPR systems the key advantages of the front-end are the considerably larger bandwidth, the ability to measure the polarimetric structure of the scattered field and the high precision of scattered field measurements. The front-end is suitable for subsurface imaging with 3D resolution sufficient for antipersonnel mine detection and recognition. 相似文献

The accuracy at which the subsurface electromagnetic properties can be identified from full wave inversion of ground penetrating radar (GPR) signals relies on the appropriateness of the model describing their frequency dependence. In this paper, we focus on the characterization of the frequency dependence of the dielectric permittivity and electric conductivity of a sandy soil subject to different water contents from inversion of GPR measurements. Based on previous studies of Lambot et al. the methodology relies on an ultrawide band (UWB) stepped-frequency continuous-wave (SFCW) radar combined with an off-ground monostatic transverse electromagnetic (TEM) horn antenna. Forward modeling of the radar signal is based on linear system transfer functions for describing the antenna, and on the exact solution of Maxwells equations for wave propagation in a horizontally multilayered medium representing the subsurface. Model inversion, formulated by the classical least-squares problem, is carried out iteratively using advanced global optimization techniques. The frequency dependence of the electromagnetic properties of the sandy soil is characterized by performing inversions of the radar signal in different and subsequent limited frequency bands, in which the electromagnetic parameters are assumed to be constant. We observed that over the entire frequency band considered in this study (1–3 GHz), the dielectric permittivity of the sand remains constant with frequency, whatever the water content is. In contrast, the electric conductivity increases significantly from 1GHz to 3 GHz, and this effect increases with water content. The frequency dependence of the electric conductivity may be adequately described using a simple linear relationship. This approach is advantageous since it limits the number of parameters to be optimized in the inverse modeling procedure. 相似文献

The application of a six-port technology in the receiving part of a radar front-end is described in this paper. This receiver allows measuring magnitude and phase of the radar signal without the need of down-conversion. According to the applications and the availability of the devices needed for assembling the prototype sensor, the frequency of operation was set to 35GHz. The structure of this six-port as well as the calibration and measurement algorithms are described in detail. The accuracy of the phase measurement is 2–10° depending on the power level of the signal. Another key element of the proposed radar sensor is a direct frequency counter. Using this circuit it is possible to measure the frequency of operation with a resolution of 20 bits within 120s. The accuracy of the distance reading of the radar is directly related to the accuracy of the frequency measurement and has reached 0.1mm. 相似文献

This paper introduces a microwave measurement setup, using three microstrip antennas integrated with a microwave oscillator, and Schottky-diode detectors used as bistatic microwave sensors. We have measured the microwave attenuation (water content) and the bistatic radar cross section (dimensions) of eggs having different storage times (Fig. 1). The measured attenuation (A) for fresh egg, at a frequency of 14.2 GHz is A=8–10 dB; the variation with time is dA [dB]=–0.033T (days), thus nearly –1 dB/30 days. Our next project is to create a microwave device for the automatic selection of old eggs. The basic experimental design and the results of our measurements are discussed. 相似文献

In this contribution the various influences on the accuracy of the phase measurement unit of a near range precision radar are investigated. The front-end is a monostatic design operating at 34–36.2 GHz. The hardware configuration enables different modes of operation including FM-CW and a single frequency mode with phase and frequency measurement. To achieve a highly accurate distance measurement, attention must be paid to various error sources. Due to the use of a six-port it is rather complicated to determine the corresponding error propagation. In the following the results of investigations on how to achieve an exceptional accuracy of 0.1 mm are described. Especially the error propagation through the six-port is analyzed in detail. 相似文献

Across-The-Road (ATR) radar is the most common type of traffic speed measurement devices used in China for traffic law enforcement. Its speed measurement accuracy is highly concerned by drivers, lawyers, policemen and metrologists as well. Among those influence factors, antenna horizontal beamwidth is an important one, which has not been taken into account in the current verification regulation of ATR radar in China. In this paper, the current verification methods of ATR radar in China are firstly introduced, and the reason for the field measurement error of ATR radar is analyzed. The speed measurement error of ATR radar related to antenna horizontal beamwidth is investigated in details, and theoretically calculated in various combinations of installation angles and horizontal beamwidths. Field tests with three equal-distanced piezo sensors each lane as triggering reference have also been performed on two ATR radar samples with horizontal beamwidth 5° and 10° respectively. The results of theoretical analysis and field tests verify that antenna horizontal beamwidth smaller than 6° is a precondition for accurate and reliable field measurements, which has also been added to the newly published pattern approval regulation of ATR radar in China. 相似文献

In this work an innovative high speed continuous wave stepped frequency GPR has been designed and implemented with the aim of overcoming the low speed issue of wide bandwidth CW-SF GPRs. It is based on a structure combining a Digital Direct Synthesizer (DDS), a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) and a quadrature modulator (I/Q Modulator). The radar is an L-S band GPR able to scan a 1 GHz bandwidth (1500–2500 MHz) with 200 steps in 10 ms. The system has been developed for automatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of historical-artistic interest structures. Some system tests and laboratory tests on a realistic masonry setup were carried out in order to asses the performances of this system. 相似文献
