Abstract :
A method for FD-TD based field analysis of the chirp radar-type microwave tomography (CP-MCT) has been developed. By taking the computed projection of a thin cylinder to be the point spread function (PSF) of CP-MCT, image restoration has been attempted and successful results have been obtained
