Abstract
In this paper, the authors propose an innovative survey radar technique based on microwave holographic images for dynamic testing of large structures providing both vibration amplitude pattern and frequency. Theoretical background is provided and experimental results obtained during a dynamic test on a concrete and masonry building are reported.
