Whitepaper: "A
Microwave Spot Probe Method for Scanning Aircraft Radomes"
 Dr. John Schultz, Chief Scientist at
Compass
Technology Group.
Dr. Schultz is the Chief Scientist at the Compass
Technology Group where he leads research and development efforts in RF materials
and measurement technology. Previously he was a Technical Fellow at the Georgia
Tech Research Institute, where he led programs in experimental and computational
research on the electromagnetic properties of materials, structures, and
antennas. He has developed materials characterization methodologies via
free-space, waveguide, resonant cavity, and impedance analysis instrumentation.
He has also modeled electromagnetic composite materials and developed new
composite material concepts for novel antenna applications. He has used thermal
analysis, microscopy, and analytical techniques to correlate microstructure to
macroscopic properties in his research for providing new insight into
electromagnetic material characteristics. Dr. Schultz has also developed new
techniques for microwave measurement of scatter phenomena and has applied these
techniques to materials ranging from composites to camouflage nets. Dr.
Schultz’s backscatter methodologies have become an accepted standard method for
characterizing diffuse microwave scatter in numerous government and industrial
laboratories. In previous positions, he has worked in the areas of novel polymer
processing including stereolithography, polymer film formation, and conductive
polymers.
Indianapolis, Indiana, February-10, 2022 - Copper Mountain Technologies is pleased
to announce an online event coming up as part of our VNA Master Class Webinar series:
"Non-Destructive Microwave Evaluation of Radome Performance."
Hosted by Copper Mountain Technologies and Compass Technology Group, the webinar
will be taking place on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 10:00 AM ET.
Radomes can experience defects due to wear or impact events that degrade both
mechanical and electromagnetic performance. Traditional radome testing often
resorts to the crude "tap test" where an operator listens for sound changes with
a tapping coin to detect defects. CTG has developed new and improved methods
that integrate rugged microwave sensors and Copper Mountain's portable VNAs to
significantly improve diagnostic testing of radomes.
This webinar will provide a brief overview of the theory of microwave NDE
methods for radome characterization. We will then demonstrate both handheld and
robotic testing of radomes with integrated wideband spot probes and miniaturized
VNAs.
Join Copper Mountain Technologies and Compass Technology Group's Dr. John
Schultz as he demonstrates state-of-the-art techniques to evaluate Radome
performance.
