Abstract :
In this paper, an active imaging method using the autocorrelation pulse (ACP) response is proposed to realize a low cost real-time imaging system. The ACP response includes non-physical response which does not appear in the pulse response. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that a strong couple between the transmitting and receiving antennas yields the reduction of the spurious pulses.
