Abstract

Microwave nondestructive testing of lossy dielectric materials involves one of two situations: either the test sample is illuminated and a signal representing the material condition is obtained, or the material is introduced into a cavity and the measurement is done on cavity parameters. In the first case, the major problem is calculating and identifying modes in the cavity and avoiding spurious solutions. The second requires solution in the open domain and is treated here by coupled boundary element/finite element approach. The two methods are used: one uses a rather standard edge element solution and scanning of frequency to detect resonance. The second formulation is based on curvilinear edge elements which avoids spurious modes. The edge finite elements allow accurate continuity of tangential components of the electric or magnetic field and therefore do not introduce parasitic eigenvalues into the system of equations. Examples of scattering by lossy dielectrics and of loaded cavity resonators are given. These include scattering cross section of bodies and propagation in composite materials.
