A determinação da rugosidade é parte fundamental para a classificação da qualidade de uma superfície. Assim, iniciou-se este trabalho realizando-se estudos a respeito de seus métodos de medição. Devido à grande adaptabilidade e à velocidade dos métodos a laser, os estudos foram direcionados para estes tipos de técnicas de medição. Verificou-se que esses dispositivos vinculavam-se a sistemas em que o laser refletido era analisado através de sistemas com detectores do tipo CCD, em que a imagem refletida era analisada num todo. Assim, a bibliografia trouxe inspiração para mensurar a rugosidade de uma superfície gerada por torneamento horizontal, a partir da intensidade laser refletida. Propôs-se, então, um método baseado exclusivamente, na intensidade do sinal que era refletido pela superfície em estudo, a contar de uma incidência normal, já que aos autores ressaltavam que quanto maior a rugosidade da superfície menor seria o sinal refletido por ela. O sistema foi montado e sua capacidade de diferenciar distintas rugosidades foi testada. Então foram produzidas amostras com diferentes rugosidades, a fim de se obter uma função que pudesse correlacionar o sinal laser com a respectiva rugosidade (medida esta feita em rugosímetro de agulha). A função de transferência encontrada foi testada em amostras dissemelhantes das que a geraram, com o intuito de comprovar sua eficácia. Amostras fabricadas com ferramentas distintas de corte também foram produzidas e submetidas ao mesmo procedimento. As funções de transferência geradas alcançaram sucesso na previsão da rugosidade em, no máximo, 16,6% dos pontos, considerando uma margem de erro de 20%. A seguir, procurando-se os motivos que pudessem ter causado este percentual, levantou-se a possibilidade de estarem ocorrendo efeitos ópticos capazes de causar interferências devido às irregularidades na superfície. Efeitos capazes de degenerarem o sinal refletido. A comprovação de que o sinal eventualmente poderia estar sendo perturbado aconteceu através de referência bibliográfica e de imagens obtidas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, em que se pôde observar a existência de estruturas na face das amostras que seriam isolada ou conjuntamente capazes de causar os efeitos citados. / The determination of the roughness is a key for a good classification of a surface. Thereby, the work was started with a study about the roughness measurements methods. Due to the great adaptability and speed of laser methods, the studies were directed to these kinds of measurement techniques. It was observed in the literature that these laser devices were linked to systems where the reflected laser was analyzed by systems with CCD detectors, where the reflected image was entirely analyzed. Hence, the bibliography brought inspiration to measure the surface roughness generated by axial turning from the intensity of the reflected laser. It was proposed then a measurement method exclusively based on the intensity of the signal that was reflected by the surface under study, because the authors noted that as the roughness of surface became bigger as the signal reflected is became smaller. The proposed system has been assembled and ability to distinguish different roughness was tested successfully. Then samples were produced with different roughness in order to obtain a function that would correlate the laser signal with its roughness (this measurement is made by tactile measurement instrument). The transfer function obtained was tested on different samples that generated in order to prove its efficacy. Samples produced with different cutting tools were also produced and subjected to the same procedure. The transfer functions reached a successful prediction of the roughness maximum for 16.6% of the points assuming a margin of error of 20%. So, looking up the reasons that could have caused this percentage we think the possibility as the occurrence of some optical effects that can cause interference due to irregularities on the surface. These optical effects can degenerate the reflected signal. The proof that the signal could possibly be corrupted was made by the bibliographic references and some images obtained by scanning electron microscopy in which they could observe the existence of structures on the sample surfaces that would can be a reason for these effects individually or together.

The purpose of the current exploration is creation of the mathematical model of different modifications of the underlying surface of the «forest» type. During the exploration the mathematical model of the beating signal of the altimeter was created. That’s allows to explore facet models of different types of underlying surfaces. The model was designed in the MATLAB system. As the result of the exploration the mathematical models of the underlying surfaces for different types of forests were created. During the modeling process it was designed two different variants of the model. The first variant corresponded only to the MATLAB system and based on the layers during the modeling process. The second variant is based on the 3D-Max model of the underlying surface with the following processing into the MATLAB system. The explored variants of the model allows to stress facet parameters during the furtherer exploration of the different types of the underlying surfaces. The diploma project contains four parts and includes 144 pages, 72 figures, 31 sources, 6 appendixes, 58 formulas. / Целью данной работы является создание математической модели различных модификаций подстилающей поверхности типа лес. В процессе работы была создана математическая модель сигнала биений радиовысотомера, позволяющая исследовать фацетные модели различных типов подстилающей поверхности.

Near field imaging using microwaves in medical applications is of great current interest for its capability and accuracy in identifying features of interest, in comparison with other known screening tools. Many imaging methods have been developed over the past two decades showing the potential of microwave imaging in medical applications such as early breast cancer detection, analysis of cardiac tissues, soft tissues and bones. Microwave imaging uses non-ionizing ultra wideband (UWB) electromagnetic signals and utilises tissue-dependent dielectric contrast to reconstruct signals and images using radar-based or tomographic imaging techniques. Microwave imaging offers low health risk, low operational cost, ease of use and user-friendliness. This study documents microwave imaging experiments for early breast cancer detection and bone fracture detection using radar approach. An actively tuned UWB patch antenna and a UWB Vivaldi antenna are designed and utilised as sensing elements in the aforementioned applications. Both UWB antennas were developed over a range of frequency spectrum, and then characteristics were tested against their ability for microwave imaging applications by reconstructing the 3D Inversion Algorithm. An experiment was conducted using patch antenna to test the detection of variable sizes of cancer tissues based on a simple phantom consisting of a plastic container with a low dielectric material emulating fatty tissue and high dielectric constant object emulating a tumour, is scanned between 4 to 8 GHz with the patch antenna. A 2-D image of the tumour is constructed using the reflected signal response to visualize the location and size of the tumour. A Vivaldi antenna is designed covering 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. The antenna is tested via simulation for detecting bone fractures of various sizes and 2-D images are generated using reflected pulses to show the size of fracture. The Vivaldi antenna is optimised for early breast cancer detection and detailed simulated study is carried out using different breast phantoms and tumour sizes. Simulations are backed with the experimental investigation with the test setup used for patch antenna. Generated images for simulations and experimental investigation show good agreement, and show the presence of tumour with good location accuracy. Measurements indicate that both prototype microwave sensors are good candidates for tested imaging applications.
