11. Probe system Detector system 1. Definition & Scope of SSI Probe(s) 1 2 .. I 1 2 .. J Detector(s) One or more probes transmit one or more waves, which are launched into the medium after processing by some probe system. The waves are characterized by their location, power, frequency, waveform, polarization, etc One or more detectors characterized by their location, sensitivity, or noise, detect the waves after processing by some detector system Medium object Medium & object are characterized by physical properties, to which the probe waves are sensitive. Thanks to Prof. Bahaa Saleh, Chair of ECE at Boston University for the concept for this and following slides. Chuck DiMarzio, Northeastern University

12. Examples of wave-dependent properties Optical Electromagnetic X-Ray • Refractive index • Absorption coeff. • Fluorescence • Dielectric constant • Conductivity • Nuclear spin • Absorption Particle Beams Electron,Positron,.. Electrical/Magnetic Acoustic • Scattering • Emission of x-ray or • secondary emission • Density • Compressibility • Conductivity • Permeability Chuck DiMarzio, Northeastern University Thanks to Prof. Bahaa Saleh

13. Goals of SSI Examples of Underlying Parameters • Estimate • Distribution of Measured Parameters or • Underlying Parameters Related to Them, or • Object Shape or Features or • Detect the Presence of a Target or • Classify Objects Based on Measured Parameters • Density, Porosity, Stiffness • Chemical composition, pH • Metabolic information • Ion concentration • Physiological changes (e.g., oxygenation) • Extrinsic markers (dyes, chemical tags) Chuck DiMarzio, Northeastern University Thanks to Prof. Bahaa Saleh

15. Architectures of SSI Transmitter (Probe) & Receiver (detector) Patterns i j j i Probe Pattern: Region in the medium occupied by the probe wave, in the absence of the target & clutter Detector Pattern: Region in the medium to which the detector is sensitive, I.e., , if a source were to exist within this medium, it would be detected.
