Abstract:
Global observations of snow cover and snow water equivalent are vitally important for climatological and hydrological studies, at both global and local scales. Passive microwave remote sensing techniques have been used over the past 30 years to produce global estimations of snow water equivalent through empirical calculations. However, the uncertainties surrounding the influence of snow microstructure has led to large errors in snow water equivalent estimation. This study examined the extinction properties of the natural snowpack and produced a new extinction coefficient, for use with the semi

Abstract:
The main objective of this work was to study the behaviour of antennas constructed using textured surface substrates, and to a certain extent provide control over their farfield radiation patterns. The properties of the textured surface have been analysed in terms of numerical electromagnetic simulation and by measurement, revealing both artificial magnetic conductor and electromagnetic bandgap properties. It is shown through measurement that by engineering the reflection phase response of such surfaces they can be made to reflect an incident circularly polarised .wave with the same sense as t

Abstract:
Microwaves are commonly used for a number of solid state reactions, including sintering of ceramics, drying of materials and ionic substitution reactions. It is for such solid state processes that some of the most interesting effects are observed; yet these are presently amongst the most poorly understood. Diffraction is arguably the most incisive technique for the probing of solid state processes. To observe specific effects of microwave radiation it is necessary to perform <i>in-situ</i> diffraction experiments. Here we detail microwave applicators, modified for such a purpose. Simple phenom

In this thesis, I develop statistics capable of detecting peculiar features in current observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Such tools scrutinise the very foundations of standard cosmological models. Evidence of peculiar features in the CMB may require a reassessment of these building blocks. More likely, any features may be artefacts of some non-cosmological signal. Nevertheless, whether the origin of these strange attributes is primordial or local, their discovery would be instructive.

Between 50% and 70% of the total energy used in the extraction process may be attributed to comminution. Microwave pre-treatment has been suggested as a means to decrease the energy requirements. A variety of mineral ores have been investigated and the effects of microwave radiation quantified in terms of the mineralogy, changes in the Bond Work Index, flotability and magnetic separation. It has been shown that microwave pre-treatment is most effective for coarse grained ores with consistent mineralogy consisting of good microwave absorbers in a transparent gangue (up to a 90% decrease in Bond

The thesis deals with the analysis of a microwave Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) on a conical dielectric radome illuminated by a feed hom located at the base. Two approaches have been adopted to solve this problem. The first approach is to calculate the element currents under the assumption that the surface is locally flat. Consequently, the element current at that locality can be determined by employing Floquet modal analysis. The local incidence has been modelled from the radiation pattern of the source or the aperture fields of the feed. Three types of feed model were used to account for

One potential alternative to chemical weed control is the use of microwave radiation, a particular form of indirect thermal weeding. Absorption of microwave radiation causes water molecules within the tissue to oscillate, thereby converting electromagnetic energy into heat. This technique is rapid, versatile and effective, as the electromagnetic waves heat the plant tissue and destroy cellular integrity.
