Abstract
In this paper the development of a prototype microwave system intended for nondestructive material
testing is presented. A flexible system concept is proposed, that can be used both, for simple localization of
fault positions as well as for sophisticated tomographic
imaging of the material under test. A strong focus of
this work is given to a low-cost implementation of the
whole system. Therefore all of the radio frequency (RF)
building blocks are designed in microstrip technology
with as less concentrated elements as possible. After
the presentation of the system concept and a detailed
design description of the RF blocks, measurement re-
sults taken with a prototype system are presented that
show the applicability of the realized system to practical
measurement applications.
