Industrial applications involving hazardous materials often require inspection within confined interiors, posing significant engineering challenges due to restricted access and complex geometries. Long-reach mechatronic systems are essential for these tasks, yet their kinematic design is typically ad hoc. This paper presents a task-driven design sy…
We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This attenuation of the backscattered signal occurs when the wavevector of the probe beam’s electric field is not in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. Correcting …
