AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
The results of applying the method of electromagnetic pulse ultra-wideband (EMP UWB) sounding when assessing the depth of pile driving are presented. In the proposed method, a generator is used as a transmitter, made using the technology of drift diodes with a sharp recovery, when emitting a powerful pulsed electromagnetic field of nanosecond duration and a transmitting microstrip antenna. A microstrip antenna (similar to the transmitting one) of the meter (m-) wavelength range and a monopole antenna of the decimeter (dm-) range are used as receiving antennas. The receiver is a digital oscilloscope R&S RTH1004 with a dynamic range of 134 dB in voltage. Receiving antennas are matched with the underlying environment by voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ≤1.85 in the frequency range 0.1–700 MHz. The large depth of propagation of the EMP UWB signal is based on the manifestation of low-frequency dispersion of the relative permittivity of the medium, the presence of which is due to the induced polarization with a dipole-relaxation mechanism under the influence of a strong EMP UWB field with parameters E~100 V/cm, H~1.56 A/cm (in GPR – E~1.6 V/cm, H~0.03 A/cm). Unlike the traditional GPR, which is an indicator device, the complex has a distinctive feature – a high level of metrological support: measurement of the parameters of the pulse and the emitted pulse; measurement of the parameters of matching antennas with the underlying environment (VSWR, active and reactive antenna resistance); measurement of the amplitude - frequency response of the receiver. In addition to the immersion depth, the location of the pile is determined if it is not possible to visualize it, its technical condition and the type of pile (bored or shell pile).
