Abstract :
Multi focus imaging radar using two pair of inline Tx/Rx printed antennas has been proposed. Antipodal Fermi antennas have been employed both for Tx/Rx antennas. Basic characteristics of the proposed imaging radar including the effect of offset of Tx/Rx antennas have been discussed by experiments. Imaging of conducting rods located on styrofoam with 250mm range, and scissors and gun have been performed using frequency range of 35 GHz to 70 GHz confirming deep image region without distortion.
