  • Abstract
    Microwave sub-surface imaging system for structural damage detection using reflection array is developed. The analytical expressions of bi-focusing procedures are derived and applied to a series of numerical simulations. Slot antenna array is designed and fabricated for experimental study. From the results of measurements, it is demonstrated that the proposed imaging system can reconstruct sub-surface images efficiently.
