Application of Electromagnetic Theories, Formulation and Deployment of Wireless Link Machines

Vikus Shayla

Abstract


Sensors and satellite imaging play a leading position in the global health of utilities, such as highways, electric lines, gas pipes, program partners, etc. Detecting techniques utilizing surface acoustic waves (SAW), electromagnetic waves (EM) and electromagnetic waves have been studied and documented. Sensors using the interference of EM fields as a result of shifts in external mechanical or substance phenomena are of special importance due to its unique compatibility with electronic devices and targeted therapies, e.g. time domain reflectometry (TDR), joint-time-frequency-domain reflectometry (JTFDR). The purpose of this work is to research and create new concepts for sensing and monitoring that are focused on EM principles. Initially, analysis techniques, design and creation of a static electrical field style sensor was provided for use in the calculation of incorporated structural moisture material. The experimental formulation and findings focused on the conformal mapping system for the conductive sensor clearly demonstrate the reliance of the field depth of penetration and the inter-electrode capacitance on the electrode sizes and their spacing. It is observed that a greater electrodes size and a limited distance are required to achieve significantly higher conductivity or a broad depth of field penetration. A meander and a circular sensor are produced and checked to illustrate quantitative moisture content observations that prove that the water activity is a linear property of the interelectrode permeability detector.


Keywords: Electromagnetic waves (EM), finite element electromagnetic (EM), joint-time-frequency-domain reflectometry (JTFDR), surface acoustic waves (SAW), sensors, time domain reflectometry (TDR)
