MICROWAVE IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for using microwaves for forming a three-dimensional image of a target are disclosed. One or more RF waveforms are emitted toward the target on a plurality of frequencies from an array of antennas positioned around the target. Each antenna in the array of antennas is selectively controlled to receive multi-frequency RF energy from one or more emitted RF waveforms that is scattered by the target. The multi-frequency RF energy is coherently digitized as reflection data. The reflection data is then processed to form a three-dimensional image of an area in proximity of the platform and including the target.
