  • Patent number: 10261177
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for scanning objects and persons, for example, persons in security gates, by means of microwave radiation. Such a system includes an arrangement of several panels between which an angled walk-through passage is formed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8760175
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a covered dielectric object, where a microwave signal that can be modified in frequency is generated at a particular bandwidth and transmitted in the direction of the covered dielectric object. The microwave signal reflected by the object is then obtained from the three-dimensional measurement result in a lateral, two-dimensional pattern, a highest signal amplitude and a second-highest signal amplitude within a particular time period before or after the received microwave signal is identified in a plurality of pattern points of the pattern. The object is detected if an accumulation of pattern points of the pattern is present, in which the difference in each case between the highest and the second highest signal amplitude of the received microwave signal is less than a defined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20120038666
    Abstract: A method for detecting and displaying image data of at least one object with reference to a human or animal body is provided with the following method steps: detecting a spatial structure and position of the object through a physical space detection and generating image data of the object on the basis of this detection, projecting the image data onto an artificial body, which represents the human or animal body, and displaying the object using the image data projected onto the artificial body.

  • Patent number: 6081125
    Abstract: In a network analyzer having one or two test ports each of which is connected via fourports to measuring points the measured values of which are analyzed in an evaluation means that includes a memory for storing system errors which have been determined during a calibration operation and must be taken into account for the object measurement, there is provided a calibration twoport between at least one of said test ports and said fourport of the associated measuring points, said calibration twoport being adapted to be switched from a basic state to two further switching states, and said calibration twoport differs in one of said further switching states from the basic switching state at least in transmission and in the other one of said further switching states differs at least in reflection from the basic switching state.
