Some features of the plane layered media thickness measurement

Abstract

In the present paper processes of electromagnetic pulse signals propagation in plane-layered media are investigated. Results of the solution of a modelling problem of propagation of an ultra wideband pulse signal in plane-layered media are presented. One or several layers thus have a small electric thickness and weak electric contrast. The practical importance of such problems, in particular, is caused by necessity of working out of effective and reliable methods of monitoring of a technical condition of road pavements of nonrigid type. Therefore, in work besides of results of numerical modelling are presented also data sets of processing of real pulse signals from antenna systems of a modern pulse georadar. The offered algorithms of modelling and processing of signals can find application also in biomedical researches and remote sounding.
