Abstract :
In this work, a millimetre/sub-millimetre wave imaging system for the analysis, characterisation and detection of hidden elements in artwork is presented. The practical implementation of the system relies on a novel generation of purpose developed frequency multiplier and mixer topologies, based on graphene non-linear devices. The proposed set-up will be experimentally validated by scanning a model painting, in order to practically illustrate the imaging capabilities of the system.
