Reflector array for a microwave imaging system

摘要

An antenna array 50 is disclosed for a microwave imaging system 10 including a plurality of reflecting antenna elements 80, each capable of being programmed with respective phase shifts in a first pattern to direct a first beam of microwave radiation towards a first target, and each capable of being programmed with respective phase shifts in a second pattern to direct a second beam of microwave radiation towards a second target. To capture a microwave image of an object 150, the antenna elements 80 are programmed with respective phase shifts in an interleaved pattern including a portion of the first pattern and a portion of the second pattern.
