Bistatic frequency-swept microwave imaging measurement system

Abstract

Experimental studies of the frequency-swept microwave image reconstruction scheme for perfectly conducting objects in a bistatic backward scattering arrangement are presented. The measurement system and calibration procedure are described. Experimental results are presented on two types of scattering objects: discrete line scatterers of four distributed metallic thin cylinders with length 113 cm and radius a = 0.5 cm, and a complex scattering object of a 1:100 metal-covered B-52 scale model aircraft.< >
