Abstract

Detection of hazardous liquids used in explosive production is important in terms of public safety and health. Because many threats can be prevented by detecting these liquids at security controls points. As existing methods have some disadvantages in terms of accuracy, practicality or reliability, there is a demand for new methods for hazardous liquid detection. In this paper, a circular patch antenna for hazardous liquid detection was designed and by connecting to a vector network analyzer a group of measurements was made. Then, this dataset was used by hierarchical clustering algorithms employed in this study to detect hazardous liquids. The results show that high classification accuracy can be achieved when Ward linkage method is preferred.
