Overview

This text presents the fundamentals of microwave non-destructive evaluation principles. This is achieved by starting with the basic understanding of subjects such as waves, material media, interaction of waves at high frequencies with material media, understanding the fundamentals of reflection, refraction, transmission and wave polarization. Each chapter has a set of problems and questions, with solutions and worked examples. The book should be of use to all those conducting research in microwave NDE, whether based in an industrial or academic environment.
