چکیده

In this paper, we demonstrate three-dimensional estimation of target positions with borehole radar in single borehole. We developed array type borehole radar having four dipole antennas with optical modulators. Experiment at a model site was done using the developed radar system. In the site, one borehole, in which there is no fluid, and one cave exist. Receiving dipole antennas and a transmitting antenna are set in a single borehole. The 3-D MUSIC algorithm modified for array type radar in a borehole is applied to the measured data to estimate location of the cave. 3-D estimation results from the experiments were reasonable. In the estimation, Method of Moment (MoM) was used to model the antennas in a borehole. Green’s function used in MoM was modified to include influence of cylindrical boundary around antennas in a borehole. Finally, we did experiments in granite, where boreholes are filled with fresh water. Cross-hole measurement was carried out to investigate characteristic of the dipole array in a water-filled borehole. Cross-spectrum analysis was adopted to obtained data, and we found that the experimental results give fairly good agreement with the theoretical results. This implies that the experimental results are accurate enough for estimation of azimuth of arrival waves, even if the antennas are in a water-filled borehole.

Target Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...

Two-dimensional angle-of-arrival estimation for uniform planar arrays with sensor position errors - Radar and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings F

The one-dimensional bearing estimation problem of linearly periodic arrays with sensor position errors has been tackled by the Toeplitz approximation method (TAM), iterative TAM, modified TAM, and iterative MTAM without calibrating the sensor positions. This paper extends these methods to the twodimensional situation using a uniform planar array with sensor position errors to estimate the 2-D a...

Estimation of Electromagnetic Parameters by Linear Dipole Array in a Borehole

It is important to estimate conductivity and permittivity of formation around a borehole. Arrival time and amplitude of the direct wave in single-hole borehole radar is related to the electromagnetic parameters. In this paper, we propose a liner array of dipole antenna elements in a borehole for a receiver. We introduced an optical modulator to transfer the received array signals to optical sig...

Design of a slimline directional borehole radar antenna using FDTD

It is difficult to build directional antennas for borehole radar due to the limited space available in the borehole. Recently published results show, however, that it is possible to obtain directional information even from electrically small antennas. In this paper, we use Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modelling to optimise the design of a four-element directional antenna array, so that ...
