Design of an Ultra-Wideband Spiral Antenna for Ground-Penetrating Microwave Impulse Radar Applications
<p>Radar systems that allow early detection of underground IEDs can save lives. The Microwave Impulse Radar (MIR) capable of IED detection requires antennas capable of transmitting sub-nanosecond pulses over ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency ranges. This thesis investigates the suitability of a novel …

Microwave Beam Diagnostic of Laser-Induced Plasmas
<p>This thesis describes the use of micro-impulse radar to detect laser-induced plasmas. The MIR actively interrogates the plasma to produce a reflected microwave signal from the plasma, and the device also detects the acoustic signature of the plasma. The acoustic MIR signal is similar to the …
