Abstract:
In this paper, the problem of optimizing probes used in modulated scattering systems is examined. Instead of the usual empirical or blind numerical optimization, a simple analytical formulation is developed, uniquely based on the impedance states of the modulating devices. This formulation allows obtaining some bounds on system performances and assessing the sensitivity to frequency and component characteristics variations. In particular, an optical modulation component, providing an advantage in terms of low invasiveness, is compared with the more common p-i-n diode-based modulators. The validity of the proposed approach, for high-resolution electrically small probes is demonstrated numerically and experimentally.

Jean-Charles Bolomey (M'02–F'08) received the Degree from Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité (Supelec), Gif-sur-Yvette, France, in 1963.
He is currently an Emeritus Professor with Paris-Sud University, Paris, France. Since 1981, his research contributions have been devoted to near-field techniques in a broad sense, including antenna measurement, EMC testing as well as industrial-scientific-medical applications. These contributions have largely concerned measurement techniques and have been deliberately oriented toward innovative technology transfer and valorization. He has more particularly promoted the modulated probe array technology. He has co-authored with Prof. F. Gardiol a reference book on principles and applications of the modulated scattering technique (MST). He holds numerous patents covering various MST-based probe array arrangements for microwave sensing and imaging systems. In 1986, he founded the company SATIMO. He has been involved in industrial applications of microwave heating as a Chairman with the Microwave Group, Electricité de France, and was appointed as a consultant by the Délégation Générale de l'Armement in the field of high power microwave metrology. He has actively contributed to several cooperative European programs ranging from medical hyperthermia to industrial process tomography and has contributed to various prototype transfer and evaluation procedures. His research was recently related to RF dosimetry and rapid SAR measurements for wireless communication devices. He is now continuing his research on load-modulated scattering antennas, and, more particularly, novel sensing applications of RFID technology. He is contributing as a member of several scientific advisory boards of European institutions and startup companies.
Prof. Bolomey has received several awards, including the Schlumberger Stitching Fund Award for his contribution to inverse scattering techniques in microwave imagery and the Distinguished Achievement Award of the Antenna Measurement Technique Association for his pioneering activity in the field of modulated probe arrays. He received the 2004 Medal of the French URSI Chapter. He is the Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society from 2011 to 2013.
