Abstract

Joint time-frequency analysis of penetrating radar response has been tested using simulated and experimental data as a processing tool for detecting stratified features inside a masonry structure. The radar response has been simulated exploiting the formalism of the propagators inside a finite number of dielectric layers. Experimental testing has been carried out by varying the thickness of the hollow space between two walls. Index Terms--Continuous wave step frequency (CW-SF), joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA), microwave, nondestructive testing, radar.
