  • Imaging using gated elements
    Patent number: 10716488
    Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems may image an object of interest using one or more waveguide assemblies including gated elements. The gated elements may be configurable in a transmission state, a reception state, or a passive state. The exemplary methods and systems may deliver electromagnetic energy (e.g., microwave energy) to an object of interest using a gated element of a waveguide assembly configured in a transmission state and sample scattered field using a gated element of another waveguide assembly configured in the reception state while the remainder of gated elements are configured in the passive state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2020
    Assignee: The University of Manitoba
    Inventors: Majid Ostadrahimi, Joe Lovetri

  • Imaging using probes
    Patent number: 9448187
    Abstract: Methods and systems may image an object of interest using one or more probes. More specifically, such exemplary methods and systems may deliver electromagnetic energy (e.g., microwave energy) using a transmitting antenna to the object while activating a probe to interact with the scattered field and sampling the resulting scattered field using one or more receiving antennas. The sampled electromagnetic energy may then be used to reconstruct an image of the object.
