Conformance analysis of model for material properties determination using simulation of ultra-wideband pulse radar

This paper describes compliance analysis of the proposed mathematical model for determination of materials relative permittivity and dielectric losses. The novelty of the proposed model is in non-contact measurement using ultra-wideband impulse radar. The study was concentrated on compliance analysis using simulated data before establishment of the experimental test-bench. Paper includes a short description of proposed measurement method and detailed description of the evaluation of the model using finite-difference time-domain method for simulation of the electromagnetic wave propagation used to obtain electromagnetic field distribution within simulated scene in order to find the conformation of the proposed model to the data obtained during simulations. Study includes description of the conformation analysis steps of the proposed model for determination of the relative permittivity and dielectric losses. Results show practical applicability of the proposed method for quite narrow spectrum of material dielectric properties. Further research directions are shown in order to improve the conformity of the proposed model and results from simulated data.
