Abstract
This paper describes preliminary efforts to measure transmission and scattering of short pulses of electromagnetic radiation through various media of interest. This work is being done at the Armament Directorate of Wright Laboratory, Eglin AFB and will be followed with a more extensive effort in cooperation with sister laboratories.
Material of interest include sand, soil, concrete, brick and metal. Sources used are [1] Grant Applied Physics HYPS impulse generator and [2] ANRO custom built UWB transmitters. Antennas utilized are TEM horn, dipole, and several other in-house experimental designs. Attenuation and reflection behaviors for varied thickness of each material are quantified and compared. Signature extraction from the scattering data is one of significant goals.
