Abstract :
Gas concentration measurement by active remote sensing requires knowledge of building walls´ reflective properties. We measured reflective properties of 30 materials of the walls including wood, glass, gypsum, and mortar in terahertz frequency region using time domain spectroscopy (TDS).
