## Abstract The detection, location, and sizing of immersed objects in a host medium are tasks of interest in many fields. One of the most suitable tools for the noninvasive measurements of buried objects is the use of microwaves. We propose in this paper a microwave method based on the knowledge o

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a lowβcost microwave technique to characterize shallow subsurface objects. Experiments and simulations are carried out to explore the possibility of predicting the reflection coefficient, according to one or two dimensions, of buried structures. High and low contrasts between the host medium and the object are investigated. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel method combining the genetic algorithm (GA) and regular shape expansion technique is reported for electromagnetic imaging of a multilayer dielectric object of arbitrary shape. By measuring the scattered field, the shape, location, size, and permittivity of each layer of the object are retrie

## An internal-combustion (IC) engine is a complicated noise source. Theoretical prediction of its sound field is problematic. This paper describes a vibro-acoustic reciprocity technique for the experimental prediction of sound radiated by the engine. The basis of the technique is the evaluation of
