چکیده
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an imaging technique that uses wide-band nonsinusoidal electromagnetic waves to produce high-resolution images of the subsurface typically from 0-–10 m depth. GPR is an effective tool for subsurface inspection and quality control on engineering construction projects. The survey method is rapid, nondestructive and noninvasive. GPR has been successfully applied to a very wide range of tasks ranging from mapping geological structures, to identifying defects in concrete.

Enhanced group velocity in metamaterials
The Bruggeman formalism is implemented to estimate the refractive index of an isotropic, dielectric, homogenized composite medium (HCM). Invoking the well–known Hashin– Shtrikman bounds, we demonstrate that the group velocity in certain HCMs can exceed the group velocities in their component materials. Such HCMs should therefore be considered as metamaterials. PACS numbers: 41.20.Jb, 42.25.Dd, ...
متن کاملProperties of magnetically coupled metamaterial elements
The birth of the subject of metamaterials, including many early contributions, is briefly reviewed. More specifically, a relatively new topic, the properties of waves on magnetically coupled metamaterial elements are discussed with particular reference to their dispersion characteristics, excitation and applications. r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملSuperluminal signals: an engineer’s perspective
Recent experiments with evanescent waveguide modes demonstrated the existence of superluminal group velocities. The still ongoing debate concerning the definition of an appropriate signal velocity is revisited, and a case study of a raised cosine signal is presented to investigate the practical relevance of superluminal signals. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملNegative index media in microwave waveguide
Microwave waveguide measurements of negative index media (NIM) are reported. Accurate determination of the frequency variation of the complex scattering parameters yields the refractive index " ' ) ( ~ in n n + = ω for the NIM with ' n varying between -3.9 to -0.3 in the passband region of 9.7-10.5 GHz. The results show that transmission is optimized for 1 ' − ≈ n and small " n . PACS numbers: ...
متن کاملMagnetoinductive waves in arrays of split-ring resonators
We study experimentally the propagation of linear magnetoinductive waves in arrays of split-ring resonators with different orientation and spacing. We summarize our experimental results characterizing the effect of coupling of individual elements in magnetic composite metamaterials. We observe the band broadening due to the excitation of magnetoinductive waves which should impose some limitatio...
