Mutual information based detection of TNT content by Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amutual information based approach for the analysis of signals obtained by nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements to detect TNT content is proposed. We apply the method to real NQR data obtained under laboratory conditions and compare ROC curves for the presented method with those of the popular demodulation technique and the matchedlter detector. Our results show mutual information to be an extremely sensitive technique, especially for very low signal-to-noise ratio, as in the case of NQR based TNT detection.

Investigation of Wavelet-based Enhancements to Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Explosives Detectors*
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is effective for the detection and identification of certain types of explosives such as RDX, PETN and TNT. In explosive detection, the NQR response of certain 14N nuclei present in the crystalline material is probed. The 14N nuclei possess a nuclear quadrupole moment which in the presence of an electric field gradient produces an energy level splitting which ...

The quadrupole resonance (QR) technology can be used as a confirming sensor for buried plastic landmine detection by detecting the explosives within the mine. We focus herein on the detection of TNT mines via the QR sensor. Since the frequency of the QR signal is located within the AM radio frequency band, the QR signal can be corrupted by strong radio frequency interferences (RFIs). Hence to d...
