4th Webinar of Applied Sciences
Advances in Microwave/Millimeter-Wave Diagnostics and Their Applications
Progress of microwave and millimeter-wave technologies has made possible advanced diagnostics for application to various fields. Transmission, reflection scattering, and radiation processes of electromagnetic waves are utilized as diagnostic tools which are classified to active and passive diagnostic systems. Specifically, the radar reflectometry has become of importance in various applications including industrial applications. Microwave imaging of the complex permittivity profile of an unknown object buried under dielectric interface or half-space is an important technology that has been used successfully in subsurface sensing such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Other potential applications include nondestructive testing of materials, biomedical measurement (imaging and fluctuation diagnostics), and the detection of defects and cracks in construction materials.
We invite 5 experts as the keynote speakers. Their talks will be related to the advancement of millimeter-wave imaging and radar reflectometry. All presentations and discussion are in English and Japanese. Those who are interested in this topic are invited to this webinar.
