Abstract

The Army Research Development Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Dover, New Jersey, has used principles of electromagnetic propagation and the properties of waveguide cavities with various geometries to develop a new class of sensors. The sensors employ waveguide cavities that are embedded into the structure of munitions. These sensing technologies use radio frequency, make direct measurement of position and orientation, and do not require added information for their operations. The results show that the geometry of the waveguide cavity can be designed to achieve high angular orientation sensitivity with respect to a reference, polarized electromagnetic fields.
