Résumé / Abstract
The global objective of this research work is to monitor civil en- gineering structures with reinforced concrete and electromagnetic wave propagation between an embedded antenna and an outside interrogative antenna is hence analyzed. We focus on the optimization of an UHF (Ultra High Frequency) antenna with would be insensitive to the concrete intrinsic properties, thus allowing propagation without frequency shift. A parametric study of the antenna topology as well as experimentations are done showing the antenna insensitivity in the choosen geometry.
