Microwave imaging using ultra wideband frequency‐domain data

Abstract: This article describes an ultra wideband (UWB) microwave system that uses the frequency-domain reflection coefficient data acquired by a UWB antenna to form a microwave image of a homogenous cylindrical dielectric body containing cylindrical targets. Both hardware and signal processing aspects of the system are described. The system uses a frequency-domain image reconstruction algorithm using the different data obtained for adjacent positions of the scanning antenna so that the effect of air-image body interfa… Show more

“…Three sub-band antenna units (Ant-A, Ant-B, and Ant-C) surround the imaged breast with 360°/U = 120° angular intervals. The cylindrical scanning mechanical sub-system and other hardware infrastructure employs the same developed model presented in [13]- [14]. Since no matching medium is used between the antennas and the imaged object, a proper windowed processing method is employed to cancel the effect of reflections at the skin-free-space interface.…”
