Fully electronic active E-band personnel imager with 2 m2 aperture

The demand on advanced personnel screening systems led to the development of several active and passive imagers. Among them, active multistatic imaging ensures high image quality and allows fully electronic screening. An active E-band imager is introduced in this paper, which operates in real-time and delivers images of 30-dB dynamic range. Imaging of humans is achieved by optimizing the acquisition time using a dedicated digital signal processing solution.
