REAL-TIME THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING OF DIELECTRIC BODIES USING MICROWAVE/MILLIMETER WAVE HOLOGRAPHY A guide to the applications of holographic techniques for microwave and millimeter wave imaging Real-Time Three-Dimensional Imaging of Dielectric Bodies Using Microwave/Millimeter Wave Holography offers an authoritative guide to the field of microwave holography for the specific application of imaging dielectric bodies. The authors--noted experts on the topic--review the early works in the area of optical and microwave holographic imaging and explore recent advances of the microwave and millimeter wave imaging techniques. These techniques are based on the measurement of both magnitude and phase over an aperture and then implementing digital image reconstruction. The book presents developments in the microwave holographic techniques for near-field imaging applications such as biomedical imaging and non-destructive testing of materials. The authors also examine novel holographic techniques to gain super-resolution or quantitative images. The book also includes a discussion of the capabilities and limitations of holographic reconstruction techniques and provides recommendations for overcoming many of the limitations. This important book: Describes the evolution of wide-band microwave holography techniques from synthetic aperture radar principles Explores two major approaches to near-field microwave holography: Using the incident field and Green's function information and using point-spread function of the imaging system Introduces the "diffraction limit" in the resolution for techniques that are based on the Born approximation, and provides techniques to overcome this limit Written for students and research associates in microwave and millimeter wave engineering, Real-Time Three-Dimensional Imaging of Dielectric Bodies Using Microwave/Millimeter Wave Holography reviews microwave and millimeter-wave imaging techniques based on the holographic principles and provides information on the most current developments.

Electrical Engineering Quasioptical Systems Gaussian Beam Quasioptical Propagation and Applications The increasing commercial use of millimeter wavelengths for remote sensing, communications, and radar systems has driven the need for new low-cost, high-performance systems, and with it, the need for quasioptical systems. Advantages of quasioptical propagation include broader bandwidth, lower insertion loss, better polarization purity, and higher power-handling capability. As this book illustrates, quasioptical system design using Gaussian beam propagation is relatively straightforward, yielding valuable insights without requiring extensive computations. Combining a general introduction to Gaussian beams and quasioptical propagation with practical applications, Quasioptical Systems provides a state-of-the-art treatment of the design of low-loss, broadband systems at microwave to submillimeter wavelengths. The approach presented involves utilizing a beam with a Gaussian distribution of field strength perpendicular to its axis, which in turn propagates in a simple, predictable fashion. Features include: A convenient summary of Gaussian beam propagation formulas Extensive coverage of present-day quasioptical components and their performance In-depth coverage of dielectric materials uses at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths An analysis of lenses and mirrors used as beam focusing elements An integrated approach to quasioptical system design This book will be of key interest to systems designers, antenna engineers, communications and radar systems engineers, and researchers.

This work covers topics such as: microwave circuits; models, modelling, and characterization; S-parameter measurement methods; multi-port and differential mode scattering parameters; stability, stabilization, and gain; and matching networks, attenuators, and phase shifters.
