Multi-Monostatic Interferometric Radar with Radar Link for Bridge Monitoring

In recent years, interferometric radars have been extensively used as sensors for static and dynamic monitoring of bridges. Generally speaking, a radar can only detect the displacement component along its view direction. As the movement of a real bridge or a large structure can be rather complex, th...
