Abstract

Large-scale structures in aerospace and civil engineering require precise full-field vibration and deformation measurement to ensure safe and reliable performance. However, conventional techniques struggle to balance long measurement ranges and high spatial-temporal resolution while remaining accurate in harsh field environments.

To overcome these limits, this study presents a microwave sensing approach for round-the-clock, full-field vibration and deformation measurement. Featuring long-range coverage, high precision, and all-weather adaptability, this technology bridges the gap between wide-span structural monitoring and high-accuracy sensing.

This report outlines the structural testing requirements, introduces the core principles of microwave-based measurement, and details key advancements from multi-point to full-field monitoring. Finally, it highlights newly developed instruments and their practical application in major engineering projects.
