Abstract

A millimeter-wave imaging system for concealed object detection at the frequency of 24 GHz with total power radiometer configuration has been designed and tested. We added to the system a microwave lens to focus the target to the antenna and a nipkow disc to scan the image under surveillance. We also incorporated the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology in the receiver antenna.
