Characterization of a Patch Antenna Sensor’s Resonant Frequency Response in Identifying the Notch-Shaped Cracks on Metal Structure

Patch antenna sensor is a novel sensor that has great potential in structural health monitoring. The two resonant frequencies of a patch antenna sensor are affected by the crack on its ground plane, which enables it to sense the crack information. This paper presents a detailed characterization of t...
