APPLICATIONS OF MICROWAVES TO REMOTE SENSING Erwin Schanda* ABSTRACT --_._----Extensive theoretical studies as well as laboratory and field measurements of rough-surface scattering and emission from agricultural soil and sea surface and of volume scattering and emission from snow and vegetation yield a considerable comprehension of the interaction of microwaves with the molecular properties and

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF MICROWAVES J. Bach Andersen x) ABSTRACT Microwaves find a use both in therapy and diagnosis. The most promising applications are still with heating of tumours and the retrieval of the corresponding temperature distributions. Microwave imaging is of interest in itself, but must compete with other techniques offering greater resolution. 

APPLICATIONS B. Autin, OF MICROWAVES TO ANTIPROTON CONTROL F. Caspers, L. Thorndahl* G. Carron, ABSTRACT A major achievement in particle accelerator physics has been the invention of stochastic cooling, a method which increases the density of beams of rare particles, like antiprotons, by several orders of magnitude. The beam circulates in a storage ring where it is sampled by electromagnetic de

MICROWAVE SENSOR APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY Martti Tiuri ABSTRACT Microwave measuring methods can be applied to determine the properties of materials and hence it is possible to develop microwave sensors for processing industry. The first applications were in moisture measurement but lately many new sensor applications have appeared. Microwave sensors especially suitable in forest industry (woo
