    摘要: Methods of characterizing and measuring particulate accumulation in a family of particulate filters (10) are disclosed. The disclosure can be applied to diesel, gasoline and natural gas fueled engines, fluid streams bearing dust, and chemical and biological substances such as may be found in laboratory fluids, for example, air. In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to measuring diesel particulate accumulation in a family of diesel particulate filters. The methods include measuring calibration complex terahertz transmission spectra (PC(f)) of at least a portion (17) of at least one particulate or diesel particulate filter in the family for different known particulate or diesel particulate amounts (ADP). The method also involves performing a partial least squares (PLS) analysis on the calibration complex terahertz transmission spectra to establish a calibration relationship between the complex terahertz transmission spectra and the particulate or diesel particulate amounts. The complex transmission spectrum of a subject particulate filter or diesel particulate filter having an unknown amount of particulate or diesel particulate accumulation is then determined and compared to the linear calibration relationship to establish a measured amount of particulates or diesel particulates. The methods include using a terahertz (THz) system (100) to obtain the complex terahertz transmission spectra for the calibration and subject particulate or diesel particulate filters.
