Abstract
Abstract The basic principle, methodology and experimental results of the automated microwave diversity imaging system developed in the Electromagnetic Research Laboratory of National Taiwan University are presented. The microwave image formulation is based on Bojarski's identity. In practice, accessing the object backscattering information using the frequency, angular and polarization diversity techniques is conducted by the developed microwave measurement system with major parts including dual polarization antennas, network analyzer and a MicroVax III. It is shown that images of a scale model of the space shuttle reconstructed from the measured data can be identified visually. The implications for high‐resolution microwave imaging radar networks are also discussed.
