Development and application of multiport microwave network measurement techniques (2/3)

This is a three-year project (from 92/8 to 95/7) to
conduct researches on multiport microwave network
measurement techniques. In this second-year report, the
study results are mainly focused on the development of
microwave diversity imaging of conducting objects
using multi-source illumination. Three frequency-swept
microwave imaging arrangements, namely quasimonostatic,
bistatic and multistatic arrangements, using
multi-source illumination technique are developed.
These three arrangements are shown experimentally that
the multi-source illumination is an effective approach to
yield good image resolution and viewing angle of
conducting object by effectively extending the recorded
scattering information in the Fourier domain.
