Analysis of Simultaneous Acoustic/Microwave Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our approach is to observe both acoustic and microwave backscattering from wind-roughened water surfaces in wind wave tanks, and to model the surface in a manner that will explain both types of scattering. The acoustic and microwave systems used are fully coherent so that Doppler spectra as well as backscattering cross sections can be obtained. Our wave tank arrangements are designed so that the acoustic and microwave systems both observe the surface at the same incidence angle. We use acoustic and microwave systems whose transmitted wavelengths are within 10% of each other.

The Observed Growth of Massive Galaxy Clusters I: Statistical Methods and Cosmological Constraints
This is the first of a series of papers in which we derive simultaneous constraints on cosmological parameters and X-ray scaling relations using observations of the growth of massive, X-ray flux-selected galaxy clusters. Our data set consists of 238 clusters drawn from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, and incorporates extensive follow-up observations using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Here we descri...
متن کاملCalculation of Cosmic Background Radiation Anisotropies and Implications
We review the physical processes that are thought to produce anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background, focusing primarily (but not exclusively) on the effects of acoustic waves in the early Universe. We attempt throughout to supply an intuitive, physical picture of the key ideas and to elucidate the ways in which the predicted anisotropy depends on cosmological parameters such as Ω0 and h....
متن کاملAnalysis of Radial Baffle Effects on Acoustic Characteristics of a Combustion Chamber
An efficient finite volume approach has been used to develop a three dimensional Helmholtz acoustic solver for complex geometries. This acoustic solver was utilized to obtain characteristic mode shapes and frequencies of a baffled combustion chamber. An experimental setup, including stationary and moving sensors, has also been used to measure these quantities for the same model combustion chamb...
متن کاملHarley Wood Winter School 2012 Practical Statistics for Astrophysicists
Handling statistics forms a crucial part of any data analysis, but it is something that is somewhat neglected in our formal education, or taught more formally than practically. This lecture will try to bridge that gap, and outline the basic data analysis techniques that are most commonly used in astrophysics, including some common pitfalls and tips-of-the-trade. To focus the discussion we will ...

PURPOSE Numerical study of microwave imaging and microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging utilizes finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis for simulation of microwave and acoustic interaction with biological tissues, which is time consuming due to complex grid-segmentation and numerous calculations, not straightforward due to no analytical solution and physical explanation, and incompatib...
