Abstract
The contrast between the electrical properties of the components of a dielectric body enables its imaging using microwave measurements. In a typical active imaging scenario, microwave power is radiated via an antenna and the scattered power is picked by one or more antennas. The scattered signals are then analyzed to detect and identify significant scatterers (targets).
