Abstract
Clearly the natural transition for NDT science is the use of higher frequencies, namely microwaves. The behavior of EM waves at these frequencies is well known and their interaction with material media has received a great deal of attention [1]. Moreover, making use of the coherency property of microwaves, images of objects and defects may be produced. Research in microwave NDT, with defect detection and classification in mind, has received minimal attention. However, microwaves show great promise in developing techniques and tools for NDT purposes.
