Title: Feasibility study of a microwave radar system for agricultural inspection

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/71318· OSTI ID:71318

The feasibility of an impulse radar system for agricultural inspection is investigated. This system would be able to quickly determine the quality of foodstuffs that are passed through the system. A prototype was designed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and this report discusses it`s evaluation. A variety of apples were used to test the system and preliminary data suggests that this technology holds promise for successful application on a large scale in food processing plants.
