Radiotomography based on monostatic interference measurement with controlled oscillator

The method of three-dimensional tomography based on radioholography measurements with the reference signal transmitted by the transmitter in the near zone and the receiver near zone. We solve the problem of repairing the object signal phase due to the reference signal in the near field in a wide frequency band and the consideration of analytical signals. Here are presented results of experimental studies on application of a tunable YIG (yttrium iron garnet) oscillator in the frequency range from 6.5 to 10.7 GHz for radio tomography of metal objects in air. Holographic principle is applied on the basis of measuring of the interference field amplitude by the detector diode. The interference occurs with the direct wave and waves scattered by the object. To restore the radio images the method of aperture synthesis and extraction of quadrature components at all frequencies sensing are applied. Experimental study on test object shows resolution about 15 mm

A magnetic induction introscope for flaw detection of metal objects

An apparatus for obtaining two-dimensional images of sheet-metal products that is based on a scanning matrix of spiral induction coils has been designed. It was experimentally shown that it is possible to detect flaws and objects that are hidden behind metallic barriers. The scanning area was 37 × 32 cm and the measurement step was 5 mm. Special treatment allows one to restore the distribution of induction currents in conductive objects from the remote measurement of the normal-component distribution of the magnetic induction vector on a plane

Visualization of broadband sound sources

In this paper the method of imaging of wideband audio sources based on the 2D microphone array measurements of the sound field at the same time in all the microphones is proposed. Designed microphone array consists of 160 microphones allowing to digitize signals with a frequency of 7200 Hz. Measured signals are processed using the special algorithm that makes it possible to obtain a flat image of wideband sound sources. It is shown experimentally that the visualization is not dependent on the waveform, but determined by the bandwidth. Developed system allows to visualize sources with a resolution of up to 10 cm

Modeling of location sensing considering diffraction effect

We propose a method of acoustic wave propagation modeling in monostatic sounding systems, with taking into account the effect of diffraction. Location sounding images of farther objects are distorted by diffraction on near objects. The diffraction effects are considered in Kirchhoff's approximation

Radiotomography based on movable focusing reflector

We propose a tomography method based on the moving parabolic reflector that provides field focusing in an object area. Resolution along the axis of the cylinder is achieved through the use of a linear radar array of magnitude detectors. Results of numerical simulation for monochromatic sensing are presented

Methodological aspects of the development of technological entrepreneurship and implementation of financial support tools in Russian universities

This article describes the development of methods of identification and support of communication between a developer and a technological entrepreneur. It is to promote university research activities. Special attention is paid to stimulating inventive activity and a university need in evolution of a developer from an inventor to series developmental engineer. The importance of an entrepreneurial path has been empathized. Financial tools of attraction of alternative funding for university innovative projects (e.g. endowment fund) have been analyzed
