EM Detection of Concealed Targets
von David J. DanielsThe latest EM techniques for detecting concealed targets, whether explosives, weapons, or people
Extensively illustrated from basic principles to system design, the fundamental concepts of RF, microwave, millimeter wave, andterahertz detection systems and techniques to find concealedtargets are explained in this publication. These concealed targetsmay be explosive devices or weapons, which can be buried in theground, concealed in building structures, hidden under clothing, orinside luggage. Concealed targets may also be people who arestowaways or victims of an avalanche or earthquake.
Although much information is available in conference proceedingsand professional society publications, this book brings all therelevant information in a single, expertly written and organizedvolume.
Readers gain an understanding of the physics underlyingelectromagnetic (EM) detection methods, as well as the factors thataffect the performance of EM detection equipment, helping themchoose the right type of equipment and techniques to meet thedemands of particular tasks. Among the topics covered are:
* Ultra-wideband radar and ground-penetrating radar
* Millimeter, sub-millimeter, and terahertz systems
* Radar systems including Doppler, harmonic, impulse, FMCW, andholographic
* Radiometric systems
* Nuclear quadrupole resonance systems
Author David Daniels has many years of experience designing anddeploying EM systems to detect concealed targets. As a result, thispublication is essential for scientists and engineers who aredeveloping or using EM equipment and techniques for a diverse rangeof purposes, including homeland security, crime prevention, or thedetection of persons.
