ADVANCED PHYSICAL SENSING
60 GHz Physical Sensing
Non-contact sensing with 60 GHz millimeter waves
We are researching non-contact measurement of moisture distribution, material state, and micro-vibration by combining commercial 60 GHz FMCW radar, computational electromagnetics, mechanical scanning, and dynamic coded apertures.
60 GHz
PHYSICAL SENSING
Sense hard-to-see physical states without contact.
CHALLENGE
The problem
Physical states such as moisture distribution, changes in material condition, and micro-vibration can be difficult to observe with contact sensors alone because of placement limits and their influence on the target.
APPROACH
Current approach
We combine commercial 60 GHz FMCW radar with computational electromagnetics, mechanical scanning, and dynamic coded apertures. The research focuses on reconstructing electromagnetic responses as testable data about a target’s physical state.
