In this paper, a hybrid microwave NDE technique employing near field sensor for electric field measurement in plane wave regime is proposed in which a custom made spot focusing horn antenna has been used to illuminate the sample with defect.Abstract:
A hybrid microwave NDE technique employing near field sensor for electric field measurement in plane wave regime is proposed in this paper. A custom made spot focusing horn antenna has been used to illuminate the sample with defect. A graphene based electric field sensor is employed to measure the electric field with less field perturbation. Thin dielectric composites of thickness less than quarter wavelength has been inspected using this method. Samples of size 300 mm × 300 mm with machined defect radius of 10 mm and 5 mm with 0.5 mm depth were measured using the proposed hybrid method. The hybrid technique has a higher spatial resolution and insignificant perturbation to the electric field compared to the conventional methods.read more

On the Crack Characteristic Signal From an Open-Ended Coaxial Probe
TL;DR: This paper examines the primary reason for this discrepancy, which turns out to be due to a geometrical perturbation in the probe center conductor geometry and its subsequent interaction with a crack.

Applied microwave imaging of composite structures using open-ended circular waveguide
TL;DR: In this article, a custom made Teflon loaded circular waveguide is employed for inspection of defects in a test sample and the sensitivity of the circular probe to air inclusions in the composite is checked at 24 GHz by analysing the electric field variation at the defected layers.
