Cet article présente une imagerie non destructive à ondes millimétriques (MMW) de fissures d'une largeur inférieure au millimètre sur une surface de béton recouverte de papier. Nous avons mesuré la diffusion en champ proche des signaux 76.5 GHz-MMW au niveau des fissures de la surface du béton pour détecter les fissures de largeur inférieure au millimètre. Une diminution de l'amplitude du signal reçu par diffusion en champ proche au niveau de la fine fissure de la surface du béton était légère, ce qui donnait un contraste d'image MMW peu clair des fines fissures à la surface du béton. Nous avons constaté que l'amplitude du signal reçu au niveau d'une fissure à la surface du béton est plus grande que celle à la surface sans fissure, lorsque l'épaisseur du papier est presque égale à n/4 de la longueur d'onde effective du signal MMW dans le papier (n = 1, 3, 5 ...), rendant ainsi le contraste de l'image MMW au niveau de la fissure superficielle inversé. En calculant la différence de deux images MMW obtenues à partir d’épaisseurs de papier différentes, nous avons pu améliorer le contraste de l’image MMW au niveau de la fissure superficielle jusqu’à 3.3 dB.

Abstract: This paper presents non-destructive millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging of sub-millimeter-wide cracks on a concrete surface covered with paper. We measured the near-field scattering of 76.5 GHz-MMW signals at concrete surface cracks for detection of the sub-millimeter-wide cracks. A decrease in the received signal magnitude by near-field scattering at the fine concrete surface crack was slight, which yielded an unclear MMW image contrast of fine cracks at the concrete surface. We have found that the received signal magnitude at concrete surface crack is larger than that at the surface without a crack, when the paper thickness is almost equal to n/4 of the effective wavelength of the MMW signal in the paper (n=1, 3, 5 ...), thus, making MMW image contrast at the surface crack reversed. By calculating the difference of two MMW images obtained from different paper thickness, we were able to improve the MMW image contrast at the surface crack by up to 3.3 dB.
