Radio-frequency imaging has a similar potential which has not yet been fully realized: geophysical uses alone include exploration, mining, and underground process monitoring. Reconstructive imaging to date has been largely based on the explicit assumption of straight line propagation between source and receiver. This is much more valid for X-rays than for radio waves in an underground environment, and the relative lack of success of RF imaging can be largely attributed to this simplification. In this paper, a geophysical imaging technique is being proposed which reconstructs the unknown environment from cross-borehole measurements of RF electromagnetic wave transmission. Unlike some previous methods which assume straight-ray transmission, the technique explicitly accounts for refraction and first-order reflection in the reconstruction process. Several examples of images of unde...","PeriodicalId":76653,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of microwave power","volume":"18 1","pages":"83-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86987258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Platey grains also give rise to large frequency and salinity dependences of the dielectric constant. The interfacial effects are particularly important in clayey systems.

Although both relationships should be valid for most practical applications, the cubic relationship predicted the dielectric constants of pulverized coal, whole-wheat flour, and whole-kernel wheat more accurately than did the quadratic relationship.

The LMP® technology allows, in principle, the generation of a low-temperature plasma of any desired length and it is therefore of great interest in industrial processes involving the treatment of large surface areas. This paper attempts to evaluate some plasma-polymer coatings produced on various metallic and non-metallic surfaces. It is shown that polyurethane films deposited on metal surfaces are effectively and quickly cross-linked when exposed to an argon microwave plasma; in addition, plasma-polymer coatings were formed from styrene and methylmethacrylate vapours introduced into the LMP reactor. The deposition of such plasma-polymers produced, in most cases, resistant and strongly adhesive coatings. However, the plasma-polymer coating was not found to possess a regular structure.

Low power settings (327 W/hr) had less critical effects on the texture than higher power settings.
