The author examines the challenges of applying the UWB microwave technique in that the technique is dependent on the operating frequency used for the specified material under test. In this context, the objectives of this research volume include, but are not limited to, development of a small UWB antenna at frequency range from 5 GHz - 50 GHz for microwave and millimeter wave imaging of wide range of low loss construction materials, design of a small UWB antenna operating for microwave and millimeter wave imaging of low loss and high loss materials for the purpose of detection of surface damages of concrete under low loss materials, and development of a UWB antenna at frequency range from 2 GHz - 27 GHz for microwave imaging of low loss and high loss materials such as concrete structures and layered structures for the purpose of detection of cavities inside concrete. Introduces a novel sketch of antipodal Vivaldi antennas with dielectric lenses; Tests workability of the designed antennas for different specimens of construction materials and structures; Considers capability of the designed antennas to detect different targets inside construction materials and structures. . 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aStructural materials 606 $aBuilding Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23047 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 14$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 615 24$aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 676 $a621.384135 700 $aMoosazadeh$b Mahdi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0999614 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337629203321 996 $aAntipodal Vivaldi Antennas for Microwave Imaging of Construction Materials and Structures$92294602 997 $aUNINA
