Host: Professor Cui Guolong
Introduction:
MIMO Radar operating at 79GHz was used for visualization of vibration of bridges. A FM-CW MIMO radar consists of 12 Transmitting and 16 receiving antennas was used. 2D SAR images reconstruction with PRF higher than 20Hz was achieved, and we demonstrated that vibration of any points in the 2D SAR image can be obtained. We measured vibration of brides, which have different structures, namely steel, and RC concrete. We showed that the vibration mode is very different between these two bridges and demonstrated that this system can be used for practical safety observation of social infra structures.
Speaker’s profile：
Motoyuki Sato received the B.E., M.E degrees, and Dr. Eng. degree in information engineering from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 1980, 1982 and 1985, respectively. Since 1997 he is a professor at Tohoku University and a distinguished professor of Tohoku University 2007-2011, the director of Center for Northeast Asian Studies, Tohoku University 2009-2013.
His current interests include transient electromagnetics and antennas, radar polarimetry, ground penetrating radar (GPR), borehole radar, electromagnetic induction sensing, GB-SAR and MIMO radar systems. He developed GPR sensors ALIS for humanitarian demining, and they are used in mine affected countries including Cambodia and Colombia. He was a visiting Professor at Jilin University, China, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and Mongolian University of Science and Technology. He served the technical chair of GPR1996 in Sendai and the general chair of IGARSS2011 Sendai-Vancouver.
