Microwave nondestructive testing of composite materials using a free space technique / Suhardi Mohamad Ali Yakop
The main objective of this project is to develop a microwave free-space measurement system in the frequency range of 8.0 to 12.5 GHz (X-Band) to measure reflection and transmission coefficients , Sn and S2i of planar samples such as Polyvinyl-Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), Nylon, Polyethylene (...
