The following article describes the development of a millimetre wave based real-time imaging system for three dimensional non-destructive testing of goods. For this purpose a rotating antenna is used which is fed from an FMCW radar. The received measuring data is processed with a SAR algorithm. Due to the fact that a reflexive measurement method is used, the integration of the system into existing systems is simplified. To make the computing power-intensive SAR image processing possible, the complete signal processing chain of the image processing is executed on the graphics card. The article elucidates the concept for calculating the measurement parameters which have to be elaborated for the implementation of the image processing of the whole system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
