Abstract:

The microwave system described in this document uses a high dielectric constant waveguide embedded in a low dielectric constant sheath with mechanical properties matched to those of the surrounding geological material with an end microwave reflecting surface 5 to create a standing wave to permit measurement of particle and shock velocities resulting from an explosion.
