Dielectric Response Data on Materials of Military Consequence

We are interested in the remote determination of materials. That is, we desire to irradiate a material from a distance using efficient antenna systems and infer from the scattered signal the nature of the irradiated material. To accomplish this task we require a library of material properties as related to electromagnetic scattering and we require signal features that permit materials to be discriminated from a distance using scattered signals. This technical report provides a significant first step in the direction of providing the needed capability. A small materials library is presented along with signal properties of interest.
