radomes and structural components etc)

• Depth Measurement (The measurement of depth within containers of

corrosive liquids, grain etc)

• Moisture Content. (Measuring on-line moisture content of various

commercial products, such as soap).

Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) for defence and civil

applications
