  • Publication number: 20120168625
    Abstract: A millimeter wave imaging sensor includes a plurality of millimeter wave sensors disposed on one plane intersecting an incoming direction of millimeter waves emitted from a subject. Each of the plurality of millimeter wave sensors includes an antenna portion, a wave detection unit, a transmission path, and a shielding member. Adjacent millimeter wave sensors, among the plurality of millimeter wave sensors, are positioned according to outer peripheral shape of the shielding members of the adjacent millimeter wave sensors.

  • Patent number: 8208687
    Abstract: A millimetric wave imaging device includes: a lens antenna; a polygon mirror; a receiving portion; a scanning unit; and an image data generating unit. The receiving portion receives millimetric wave radiated from an object, transmitted through the lens antenna, and reflected on a mirror surface of the polygon mirror rotated by the scanning unit to detect a signal level of the millimetric wave. The image data generating unit generates image data representing an object image by receiving a detection signal from the receiving portion while driving the polygon mirror through the scanning unit.
