Abstract
A quasi-monostatic frequency-swept microwave imaging system using illumination diversity technique is proposed to have an efficient scattered field acquisition arrangement. The measurement system, calibration method, and experimental results are presented. The image reconstruction principle is developed under physical optics approximation. Reconstructed images of the continuous, discrete conducting objects and B-52 model aircraft measured in the frequency range 7.5-12.5 GHz are shown to be in good agreement with the scattering object geometries. The images reconstructed with and without using illumination diversity technique are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed microwave imaging system.

Optimal Illumination Schemes for Near-Field Microwave Imaging

TL;DR: Here, ANI is achieved with four transmitting antennas, and its implementation is investigated in a planar scanning scenario, proving that at least two-fold improvement in the spatial resolution can be achieved in near-field imaging scenarios compared to the conventional single-source illumination.

A survey of the physical optics inverse scattering identity

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical optics approximation is applied to the acoustic and electromagnetic direct scattering integral representation, yielding an inverse scattering identity which relates the characteristic function of a scatterer to the three-dimensional spatial Fourier transform of the augmented far-field scattering amplitude.
