  • MILLIMETER WAVE AND/OR MICROWAVE IMAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING EXAMPLES OF PARTITIONED INVERSE AND ENHANCED RESOLUTION MODES AND IMAGING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230079634
    Abstract: Examples of imaging systems are described herein which may implement microwave or millimeter wave imaging systems. Examples described may implement partitioned inverse techniques which may construct and invert a measurement matrix to be used to provide multiple estimates of reflectivity values associated with a scene. The processing may be partitioned in accordance with a relative position of the antenna system and/or a particular beamwidth of an antenna. Examples described herein may perform an enhanced resolution mode of imaging which may steer beams at multiple angles for each measurement position.
    Type: Application
