Millimeter-wave/Terahertz Vibrometry and Displacement Sensing Radar
- Technology Benefits
- - Can monitor objects/subject at distances over 100 meters - Shorter operating wavelength, thus sensitive to small displacements and vibrations over a wide dynamic rangeo Can target vibrational frequencies that range from ~0.1 Hz ΓÇô 1 MHz with amplitudes down to ~50 mm.- Shorter operating wavelength allows for high spatial resolutions o Beam size is ~1 meter at a target distance of ~100 meters for a 30 centimeter antenna size.- Ability to transmit through inclement weather, such as dust and fog.- Ability to penetrate dielectric barriers: paint and other industrial coatings
- Technology Application
- - Detection: vital signs in real time o Surveillance & law enforcement o Search and Rescue ΓÇô disaster scenarios- Gait analysis- Vibrational monitoring of structures
