Abstract

A K-band microwave interferometer for non-destructive sensing of high frequency low amplitude (nm) vibration is demonstrated. This sensor uses direct-conversion receiver architecture with a phase shifter to adjust its sensitivity while varying the target distance. Detection of nanoscale vibration and laser-generated ultrasound waves through thin aluminum plate are measured and then compared with the theoretical results.
