Measuring Fast Mechanical Deformation with Micrometer Precision Based on Millimeter Wave Interferometry
摘要
A millimeter wave interferometer based on a Ka-band CW signal generator and a high-speed oscilloscope has been implemented, which makes it possible to carry out measurements without frequency conversion. The experimental measurements of the amplitude of transverse deformations of a metal rod caused by impact loading have been carried out. A good agreement between the calculated and measured data was revealed, demonstrating the possibility to measure microsecond-duration surface deviations with an accuracy of about 1 μm and a relative error of about 8%.
