“…There is also the possibility of developing a cost-effective MM-WI system using a commercial plasma display (Brooker et al 2015). The detection mechanism for glow discharge detectors (GDDs) at MM wave bands can be explained by cascade ionization in which the energy of the electrons in the plasma increases due to the electromagnetic radiation, results in an increase in the current density.…”

In the past few years, great effort has been devoted to the fabrication of highly efficient, broadband radome and stealth (R&S) structures for distinct control, guidance, surveillance and communication applications for airborne platforms. The evaluation of non-planar aircraft R&S structures in terms of their electromagnetic performance and structural damage is still a very challenging task. In this article, distinct measurement techniques are discussed for the electromagnetic performance and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of R&S structures. This paper deals with an overview of the transmission line method and free space measurement based microwave measurement techniques for the electromagnetic performance evaluation of R&S structures. In addition, various conventional as well as advanced methods, such as millimetre and terahertz wave based imaging techniques with great potential for NDE of load bearing R&S structures, are also discussed in detail. A glimpse of in situ NDE techniques with corresponding experimental setup for R&S structures is also presented. The basic concepts, measurement ranges and their instrumentation, measurement method of different R&S structures and some miscellaneous topics are discussed in detail. Some of the challenges and issues pertaining to the measurement of curved R&S structures are also presented. This study also lists various mathematical models and analytical techniques for the electromagnetic performance evaluation and NDE of R&S structures. The research directions described in this study may be of interest to the scientific community in the aerospace sectors.

“…This is the case of the work in [644], therein the feasibility of using a lowcost commercial plasma display as mm-wave imaging device is demonstrated. The obtained performance does not reach the level of mm-wave cameras implemented with individual glow (gas) discharge detectors, but it allows to obtain short range imaging with good results.…”

“…The literature in the topic is tremendously vast, and the commercial race, phrenetic. At the shadow of the mm-wave leadership communications, mm-wave imaging is also becoming good market impulsing well-founded research [637]- [644]. State of the art in those areas will be reviewed later, after the main characteristics that cause the differences between the mm-wave band and the microwave band are exposed.…”

“…This fact justifies the preference of higher frequency spectrum spots. Regarding imaging, f = 94 GHz is the most common frequency [640], [641], [644]. Most of the imaging systems demand for narrow-band operation, although excep-tions are found.…”

“…When talking about mm-waves, imaging applications literature and current commercial use become restricted to much less areas if compared with those of THz frequencies, being security the most popular (something that can be well understood from the aforementioned emissivity properties of the human body and metals) [637]- [644]. However, some new proposals such as concrete walls crack detectors [690] or recycled paper classification [691], are also found.…”

To my parents, brother and sister."Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable."Jonh Wooden "Lo que con mucho trabajo se adquiere, más se ama." Aristóteles AgradecimientosLa realización de esta tesis ha implicado no pocos años de trabajo y esfuerzo. Durante este importante periodo de mi vida han sido muchas las personas han estado a mi lado, brindándome su apoyo, ayuda, cariño y amor. Ya sea de una forma u otra, todas estas personas han contribuido a que este trabajo haya sido posible dando como fruto esta tesis. A todos ellos, me gustaría dedicarles un agradecimiento muy especial de todo corazón.Sin duda alguna, debo dar las gracias en primer lugar a mi director de tesis Mariano Baquero. Mariano, has sido un padre para mí profesionalmente hablando. Te conocí como alumno en las clases de Microondas, en las cuales me abriste la puerta a un conocimiento que me fascinó.Recuerdo perfectamente cuando fui a verte para preguntarte si podrías dirigirme el Proyecto Final de Carrera, y desde ese año 2009 hemos estado trabajando juntos. Quiero agradecerte no sólo haberme dado la oportunidad de trabajar en cada momento en elárea que más me ha gustado, sino el haberte preocupado por mí a nivel personal, velando siempre por mis intereses, ayudándome a desarrollarme personal y profesionalmente. Extiendo en este sentido mi agradecimiento a Miguel Ferrando. Si Mariano es el padre, tu serías sin duda el abuelo. Sin tu ayuda, la beca para la realización de esta tesis y los proyectos que han respaldado la misma no hubieran sido posibles. Tu esfuerzo ha permitido que el Grupo de Radiación Electromagnética (GRE) esté hoy dónde esta y que sus miembros nos beneficiemos de un entorno de trabajo excelente, produciendo trabajo de calidad. Debo agradecerte también tus siempre innovadoras ideas, algunas de las cuales se han convertido en una realidad plasmada en esta tesis.Una mención especial merece Daniel Sánchez. Dani, aunque tu nombre no figure como co-director bien sabes que podría estarlo. Jamás podré agradecerte lo suficiente la ayuda que me has prestado. Cuántas horas dedicadas a enseñarme en un sin fin de aspectos sin esperar nada a cambio, apoyándome también en los momentos difíciles, siempre presentes en una tesis. Bien sabes que lo mismo has hecho con cada uno tus compañeros, por eso eres el pilar del GRE Dani.Otra persona a la que estoy muy agradecido es a Vicente Boria. Tu activa colaboración en la dirección de esta tesis ha sido indispensable para la consecución de los resultados más relevantes de la misma. Sugeriste muy acertadamente una estancia en la Queen's University of Belfast, y me abriste la puerta a nuevas líneas de investigación en las cuales seguimos trabajando actualmente. Gracias por preocuparte por mi a nivel profesional y personal.En elámbito anterior, extiendo los agradecimientos a todo el GRE. It is also very important for me to acknowledge Prof. Vince Fusco. Thank you for hosting me in your group in Belfast ...
