“Identification of Layers in Oil-Tanks Using a Reflectometer”
Authors: Anton M. Bøifot,Affiliation: SINTEF
Reference: 1988, Vol 9, No 1, pp. 17-45.
Keywords: Frequency domain analyses, time domain analyses, windows, dielectrical properties, attenuation, methods of detection, simulations, practical measurements
Abstract: This paper treats the possibilities of analysing layers in oil-tanks using a reflectometer. First some basic principles and expressions are presented. After that examples of commonly used windows are shown and a new generation of windows developed. These are called Hammingfolded windows, and can have side lobe levels below -85 dB.
