Radar Vibrometry: Investigating the Potential of RF microwaves to measure vibrations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Expanding radar applications in the area of measuring vibration movements could improve the effectiveness of modern defence systems. The purpose of the vibration measurement is to enrich the information of a targets signature, thus improving the process of target identification and classification. The basic mathematical models of a single receiver radar and a radar that operates as an interferometer are presented. Based on the first model, a simulation is conducted in order to assess the ability of the radar to act as a vibrometer in the presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and phase noise.

Radar-based Mechanical Vibration Sensing for Structural Health Monitoring Applications: A Comparison of Radar Transceiver Measurements at 24GHz and 100GHz
Conventional strategies to measure mechanical vibrations from remote distance are based on Laser-Doppler-vibrometry (LDV). This technique is only rarely used in practical structural health monitoring (SHM) applications, due to the high costs of these devices. Radar technology represents a promising new approach towards in-situ SHM-scenarios with permanently installed sensors, because of the low...
متن کاملCoherent Laser Radar Conference Off Line-of-Sight Measurements of Target Vibrational Features Using Laser Vibrometry
Laser vibrometry based on coherent detection techniques allows remote measuring of vibrational target characteristics with high resolution. Previous work concentrated on measurements where a direct line-of-sight between target and sensor was given. In this paper we investigate situations where the target is hidden and out-of-sight, but target-induced vibrations can be captured from the environm...
متن کاملIdentifying Vehicles Using Vibrometry Signatures
Laser Vibrometry is an exciting new sensor technology that promises to improve automatic target recognition (ATR) performance. Sensors such as Micro-Laser Interferometer Doppler (MLID) measure minute vibrations on the surface of an object from a large standoff distance. In this paper, we demonstrate a baseline ATR algorithm designed for vibrometry data that can reliably recognize military vehic...
متن کاملInvestigating the Potential of Protoscolices for Cyst Formation under in vivo Microwave Radiation
Introduction: Hydatid cyst surgery leads to the cyst rupture and release of protoscolices. Following the results of the previous study showing that microwaves have the ability to deactivate protoscolices in vitro, this study aimed to investigate the effect of these microwaves on protoscolices in vivo. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 24 mice. Hydatid cysts from sheep were coll...
متن کاملCompact Pulsed Power Sources
Marx generators have been traditionally relegated as pulse-charging supplies for a variety of applications including the generation of High Power Microwaves, or RF energy. Compact models have served as suitable trigger generators for larger systems. However, recent work has demonstrated the compact Marx generators for directly generating RF energy. This paper discusses two compact Marx generato...
