Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science (MS), Wright State University, Physics.
Over the last couple of decades, the field of millimeter-wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) radiation has seen an accelerated growth thanks to developments in high quality mmW/THz sensors. These developments have contributed to many useful applications in the fields of medicine, security, construction, etc. Non-destructive evaluations such as the detection of defects in materials is currently one of the major applications of mmW/THz radiation. These evaluations are performed using mmW/THz continuous-wave radar systems. In this study, we discuss how Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) techniques can enhance sensing applications through the use of a Michelson interferometer. This allows multiple objects or surfaces to be range resolved. Range resolution is dependent upon the bandwidth of the frequency sweep of the FMCW system and we will discuss several experiments performed that lead to achieving a range resolution of around 1mm.
