An analytic model was developed to predict the fields at the surface of concrete as a function of reinforcement rod diameter and depth which was verified using finite-element-method simulations. The model demonstrated phenomena consistent with the experiment and showed that an NRI lens is required to image surface fields. Since the analytic model is computationally efficient compared to simulation, it offers a pathway to extract rod diameter and depth from the imagery.pp.579-581© IEEEground-penetrating radarmicrowave imagingnegative-refractive-index lensreinforced concretescatteringConference Contribution - published10.1109/APMC60911.2024.108676912690-3946979-8-3503-6354-8
