Abstract: | Controlled experiments have been conducted to measure the propagation of synthetically generated pulses in dense random media. The dense media were prepared by embedding spherical dielectric scatterers in a homogeneous background medium: the size and volume fraction of the scatterers were the controlled parameters. A network analyser-based system operating in the frequency domain was used to measure the electric field reflected and transmitted by slab-shaped samples of dense media as the source signal was swept from 26.5 to 40 GHz. An inverse Fourier transform was used to convert the frequency domain response into time domain pulse waveforms. The time domain response was then used to obtain pulse propagation velocity and attenuation in the controlled samples. The experimental results are shown to be in general agreement with dense medium theories. |
