Abstract: The health status of the in-service poles is of great significance to ensure the stable operation of the power system. In this context, the application history and current situation of ultra-wideband (UWB) electromagnetic wave technology in the field of pole detection are summarized and its potential value in practical application is discussed. Based on the characteristics of strong penetration and high resolution of UWB electromagnetic wave, the principle and application prospect of a new type of pole detection scheme and its device are discussed. Considering the UWB electromagnetic wave pole measurement technology as a radar imaging technology, its advantages and challenges in the detection of the internal structure of the pole are discussed. Finally, this paper looks forward to the future development direction of UWB electromagnetic wave technology in pole detection, including the expansion of integration, intelligence, big data analysis and other fields.

Key words: annular reinforced concrete pole, ultra-wideband electromagnetic wave, intelligent detection device, non-destructive testing, coherent radar
