Abstract
This paper deals with the design and simulation of a Split Ring Resonator (SRR) for the detection of leaks, corrosion and cracks in pipeline networks intended for transporting crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products and other fluid products. The designed SRR is tuned to a resonant frequency of 6.1 GHz and is simulated using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) tool to detect the ruptures in pipeline coatings made of FR4 epoxy. The designed SRR is mounted on a Rogers substrate above the FR4 epoxy coating and shows a notable variation in the resonant frequency and quality factor whenever gaps are detected between the coating and the pipeline, which can be used for checking the pipeline integrity.
