Near-Field Microwave Imaging Techniques for Object Detection and Shape Reconstruction

A near Held, frequency-synthesized microwave pulse method for the detection, imaging and reconstruction of an object has been analyzed. The procedure describes a detection technique called the single-probe detection (SPD) method, where a single probe is used to reconstruct an object's shape and determine its location in two dimensions. For a complete image mapping and reconstruction, a cylindrical scan method involving a rotational and a planar scan is used. A planar scanning alone cannot provide image reconstruction.
