Problems in electromagnetic scanning of conducting media
Abstract
A generalized approach to the study of conducting media via electromagnetic fields established in air is addressed, with emphasis on EM detection and pattern recognition of objects immersed in the conducting medium. Various types of EM scanning systems are discussed in terms of function and application: conventional radar, surveys of natural resources and of land use by radar-like systems (ground-based, submarine, satellite-based, airborne), introscopy, and flaw detection. Outlines of a statistical theory applicable to the generality of radar-like EM scanning systems are sketched. Microwave radar scanning of lunar resources, scanning of interfaces in layered media, and signal transmission and antenna positioning are discussed.
