| Abstract |
|
With the current upsurge in domestic terrorism,
suicide bombings and the like, there is an increased
interest in high technology sensors that can provide true
stand-off detection of concealed articles such as guns
and, in particular, explosives in both controlled and
uncontrolled areas.
The camera discussed in this paper is based upon
passive millimeter-wave imaging (75.5-93.5 GhZ) and is
intrinsically safe as it uses only the natural thermal
(blackbody) emissions from living beings and inanimate
objects to form images with. The camera consists of four
subsystems which are interfaced to complete the final
camera. The subsystems are Trex's patented flat panel
frequency scanned phased array antenna, a front end
receiver, and phase and frequency processors to convert
the antenna output (in phase and frequency space) into
image space and in doing so form a readily recognizable
image. The phase and frequency processors are based
upon variants of a Rotman lens.
