Measurements in Moist and Wet Soils with the Waveguide Beyond Cutoff or Separated Aperture Dielectric Anomaly Detection Technique.

摘要

This report present experimental results concerning the separated aperture (or waveguide beyond cutoff) buried mine detection scheme. More specifically, the experimental data presented describes the ability of the separated aperture sensor to detect buried dielectric anomalies under moist or saturated (wet) soil conditions. This data was collected during June - August 1990 at the Fort Belvoir Experimental Mine Lanes Facility, Fort Belvoir, Va. This report is part of ongoing research to build an engineering database to be used in a long-term research program directed toward the development of a complete understanding of the fundamental electromagnetic principles underlying the separated aperture mine detection technique and to assess the general feasibility of separated aperture mine detectors. The moist and wet soil experiments described in this report should be viewed as a continuation of earlier experimental efforts described in BRDEC Technical Report No. 2497, August 1990, (AD-A227008).
