Abstract :
In this paper we discuss the design and modeling of a 3D system for microwave imaging. The antenna system consists of 32 monopoles in a cylindrical configuration. A FDTD model of the system is used in the imaging reconstruction algorithm. Here we show a comparison of the data generated from the numerical FDTD model with measured data, as well as imaging of a simple target using this system. The agreement in the model is good and the imaging of a test object is successful.
