TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Radschun, Mario A1 - Morgenstern, Tino A1 - Schäfer, René T1 - Improved VNA Hardware for Applications in Civil Engineering N2 - The detection of soil erosion processes in dams, hydraulic heave failure or corrosion processes of reinforcing steel in concrete are a small selection of measuring applications in civil engineering where the impedance analysis can be used to determine the measurand. Those measuring applications are having high requirements for the measuring hardware. For example a common interface for fast data exchange, high resolution, independent functionality and easy customizability to suit the measuring application. For that reason, a well-known application for steel-mill process monitoring can be used as a development platform. This hardware platform is based on a vector network analyzer and is meeting the requirements mainly. However, a couple of modifications has to be made, like replacing the ADC for a higher sample rate, Ethernet for easy and fast data exchange and the microcontroller for more calculation power.
