Optimal aperture distribution for near-field detection of foreign objects in lossy media
Paper in proceeding, 2014

We determine the optimal source aperture field distribution to maximize the power transfer through a lossy medium from the transmitter aperture to a receiver aperture located in the near-field region. The optimal distribution is determined by applying array signal processing techniques to aperture field modes. By designing the system to be sensitive to the presence of foreign objects in a homogenous matter, the synthesized optimal aperture distribution increases the detection probability of foreign objects in various near-field applications, such as those that can detect potentially hazardous contaminations in food.
