We have developed a multichannel software defined radio-based transceiver measurement system for use in general microwave tomographic applications. The unit is compact enough to fit conveniently underneath the current illumination tank of the Dartmouth microwave breast imaging system. The system includes 16 channels that can both transmit and receive and it operates from 500 MHz to 2.5 GHz while measuring signals down to −140 dBm. As is the case with multichannel systems, cross-channel leakage is an important specification and must be lower than the noise floors for each receiver. This design exploits the isolation inherent when the individual receivers for each channel are physically separate; however, these challenging specifications require more involved signal isolation techniques at both the system design level and the individual, shielded component level. We describe the isolation design techniques for the critical system elements and demonstrate specification compliance at both the component and system level.

This paper presents the measurement results of the dynamic tensile strength of a High Performance Concrete (HPC) obtained using full-field identification method. An ultra-high speed imaging system and the virtual fields method were used to obtain this information. Furthermore the measurement results were compared with the local point-wise measurement to validate the data pressing. The obtained spall strength was found to be consistently 20% lower than the one obtained when the Novikov formula is used.
