Abstract

A millimeter-wave (MMW) inline holographic imag ing method based on step-frequency continuous-wave (SFCW) scheme is presented in this letter. By analyzing and decomposing the received SFCW power in range domain, it is found that the background and twin-image interferences can be well separated from the image-related term, and therefore can be removed with appropriate range windows. Moreover, a corresponding mathematical algorithm is developed to reconstruct the image from the inline hologram. To validate the effectiveness of the presented approach, a 200-GHz prototype system is designed and fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the imaging system and its potential application in high-resolution target detection.
