Abstract :
New developments in the adaptation of microwave holographic imaging to assess the intermodulation product (IMP) performance of microwave reflectors are described. In particular, a method of assessment of reflecting materials such as wire meshes and carbon fibres that have the potential to generate IMP signals across large areas is given. Identification and location of the apparent IMP sources are provided
