A 500kHz-5MHz CW stepped frequency borehole tomographic imaging system

This dissertation involves a study of Cross-Borehole Tomography. The mathematical physical models of the Radon Transform are reviewed. The entire Cross-Borehole Tomographic process is simulated, based on these physical models of the Radon Transform. The system specifications for the final design are based on the results from the simulation. Finally, the final design is built, and tested. The phase yields a better quality of image reconstruction when compared to amplitude, and hence a coherent system is a good choice. The system is frequency to frequency coherent for the entire transmit frequency range, which satisfies the main aim of this dissertation.
