Abstract :
The paper presents an algorithm which recovers a 3D reflectivity image of a target from near-field scattering measurements. Spherical wave nearfield illumination is used, in order to avoid a costly compact range installation to produce a plane wave illumination. The system is described and some simulated 3D reconstructions are included. The paper also presents a first experimental validation of this technique.
