    Abstract

    Near-field microwave and millimeter wave nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques have been successfully used for detection of corrosion under paint. However, clutter sources such as standoff distance variation masks the indications of small pitting. These pittings are precursor to corrosion and their early detection aids in preventing further corrosion. A novel dual differential probe, insensitive to standoff variation and clutter is designed to further enhance the detection capabilities of microwave and millimeter wave NDT techniques. In this paper the dual differential probe response to changes in standoff distance is simulated for several cases of unbalance and unwanted couplings.
