Microwave Nondestructive Testing of Wood Anisotropy and Scatter

A microwave-focused beam transmission measurement is identified as a good candidate for fast, accurate, and affordable industrial wood testing. In this paper, the transmission measurement setup, in its various forms, is used to study wood's properties, considering the wood as anisotropic heterogeneous and multiphase dielectric. The depolarization of a linearly polarized plane wave in an anisotropi...
