Abstract
The feasibility of using the E-pulse technique to diagnose changes in the properties of simple layered materials is undertaken. Numerical results for a conductor-backed lossy slab and a Salisbury screen show that changes in permittivity, conductivity and thickness can be diagnosed in the presence of white Gaussian noise.
