A flight imaging system and a method suitable where an unmanned flying object equipped with a visible camera and millimeter-wave radar is used, and a structure imaged by the visible camera and millimeter-wave radar mounted on the unmanned flying object are provided. A drone constituting the flight imaging system is equipped with a visible camera and a millimeter-wave radar.

Various examples related to microwave dielectric analyzers and their use are provided. In one example, a microwave dielectric analyzer includes a measurement apparatus having a conductive electrode that can couple to a microwave analyzer and processing circuitry that can determine a dielectric characteristic of the dielectric specimen using a reflection coefficient measured by the microwave analyzer. The dielectric characteristic can be determined using a computational electromagnetic model of the measurement apparatus. The reflection coefficient can be measured by the microwave analyzer with the dielectric specimen in contact with the conductive electrode and/or sandwiched between conductive electrodes. The conductive electrodes can be axially aligned, and the second electrode may not be coupled to the microwave analyzer.

A detector array having a plurality of detector elements (also referred to as antennas) which have a minimum perimeter length and a maximum perimeter length. A detector array with detector elements having at least the minimum perimeter length has improved analyte detection performance compared to a detector array with detector elements that do not have the minimum perimeter length. In addition, a detector array with detector elements with a perimeter length no greater than the maximum perimeter length allows the size of the detector array to be minimized while still achieving the desired detection performance.
