PSi-based microwave detection

Abstract

From the whole electromagnetic spectrum, extending from DC to gamma rays, microwaves cover frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 300 GHz, with equivalent wavelengths ranging from 1 m to 1 mm (Sorrentino and Bianchi 2010). High frequencies and short wavelengths of the microwaves provide unique opportunities for their application in various life sectors including, among others: Wireless networking and communication, Radio-astronomy, Weather forecasting and remote sensing, Automotive aids and control, Civil and military surveillance systems, Healthcare and biomedicine, Microwave imaging, test of materials, objects, or constructions, Food processing, Basic and applied research, Application in the field of energy.
