Summary of Experiments with the Separated Aperture Technique of Dielectric Anomaly Detection
Abstract
This report summarizes experiments conducted for the Mine Detection Division, Counter-Mine, Counter-Intrusion Department. The objective of this report is to provide a condensed overview of the major things tried, with an indication of how well they worked, and a reference to the original report that will allow finding the more detailed description if desired. The objective of the experiments was to study and improve what has generally been called the separated aperture system of dielectric anomaly detection. The detection portion of the system is a 'head' made of a transmit antenna and a receive antenna separated by a flat plate called the 'septum'. While the items tested were primarily the different versions of the separated aperture heads, a small number of other antennas was also evaluated. These included broadband horns used for time domain measurements, a narrow band horn used for holographic imaging, and cross polarized antennas that were used in an antipersonnel mine detector.
