Electromagnetic characteristic simulation of burden surface radar measurements in the BF closed environment

Microwave electromagnetic characteristics in radar measurements of burden surfaces and media thickness of an ore and coke (O/C) layer were researched in the closed environment of a blast furnace (BF). With electromagnetic calculations and CST simulation software, a dielectric constant model of the media layer was developed to study the transmission, reflection and absorption characteristics of the burden surface and the O/C layer in BF. Also a reconstruction relational model of the number of distributing O/C layers in BF, microwave angle and frequency band concerned with the dielectric constant of the media layer was established. Using trans-mission and reflection electromagnetic characteristics of radar waves, combining with BF radar distributed radar sensor array installation and the different dielectric constants of the O/C layer in BF, the three-dimensional reconstruction imaging of burden surfaces and O/C layer thickness in BF was realized on-line.
