Abstract

A microwave tomography system utilizing an inexpensive data acquisition system is introduced. The data acquisition system comprises several antennas surrounding an object-of-interest, field measuring probes distributed evenly in the measurement chamber, and a lock-in amplifier unit to perform measurements at audio frequencies based on the modulated scatterer technique. Images of different objects are successfully reconstructed using the presented system.
