Abstract

An improved version of diffraction tomography has been developed for microwave imaging of high-contrast dielectric objects. It consists of three steps. First the spatially sliced projection functions are constructed from frequency-diversity measurement data at a fixed angle. Then the domain of these projection functions is adjusted to the same area of the actual object. After angular-diversity measurements, high-contrast dielectric profiles are reconstructed by backprojecting the modified projection functions. Numerical simulation results are presented. This improved diffraction tomography may lead to the development of a microwave imaging system adapted to biological bodies by removing the limitation of the first-order Born approximation.<>
