New Airport Body Scanner Software Increases False Alarms
France and Germany have decided to forgo the millimeter-wave scanners because of false alarms triggered by folds in clothing, buttons and even sweat. In Germany, the false positive rate was 54 percent, meaning that every other person who went through the scanner had to undergo at least a limited pat-down that found nothing. For the millimeter-wave machines, a complicating … [Read more...]

Strawberry-Picking Robots Reduce Waste
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) scientists have developed an imaging technology that can identify the ripeness of strawberries before they are picked. NPL's new technology uses radio frequencies, microwaves, terahertz and the far-infra red. These four parts of the electromagnetic spectrum all have potential to safely penetrate the crop layers and identify whether the crop … [Read more...]
A Time-Domain EMI Measurement System Up to 26.5 GHz with Multichannel APD Measuring Function
I. INTRODUCTION The advances in radio systems in the past and their ongoing progress has been joined by advances in measurement systems and, hence, they require further development of measurement and specification standards. Electric and electronic systems have to be designed and realized such that the escape of unwanted electromagnetic energy into the environment is … [Read more...]
