NOVEL MICROWAVE PROJECTION IMAGING FOR DETERMINATION OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE

A novel microwave imaging technique based on the generalized weighted backprojection operator is introduced and tested using experimental data. Images of the internal structure of penetrable objects using this technique are compared and contrasted with images found from the classical backprojection method. It is demonstrated that the new method provides high-quality images of both discrete and continuous internal structure without the distortions characteristic of traditional methods.
