In this paper, we report on measurements of reflection spectra of hexogen (RDX) by means of time domain spectroscopy. We analyzed both phase and amplitude of reflected impulses for three cases: detuning, samples with rough surfaces and samples with curved surfaces. It can be concluded that both spectral characteristics can be applied for identification of explosives in the reflection configuration.
