Millimetre‐wave end‐fired antenna array for active 3D holographic imaging system

Abstract

A compact Ka-band (26.5-40 GHz) dielectric rod end-fired antenna array for the three-dimensional (3D) active holographic imaging system is presented. Without horn shape feeding, the new antenna array is specially designed with characteristics such as small size, high gain, good radiation pattern, easy realisation, low insertion loss and low mutual coupling. In the imaging system, the spacing of sending and receiving antenna units is 1.5 wavelengths with mutual coupling <−30 dB and a gain of 12-16 dB. The results and analysis provide guidelines for the design of millimetre-wave end-fired antenna arrays.

3D segmentation denoising technology of millimeter wave human body security imaging

“…In the last few decades, lots of studies have been devoted to AMMW images denoising in order to achieve accurate automatic recognition of concealed objects. Improving the performance metrics of millimeter wave transceiver systems [7], innovative system architectures [8], and more accurate image reconstruction algorithms [9] can effectively enhance millimeter wave image quality. However, these methods may incur a sharp increase in hardware costs or bring enormous computational pressure, and are not the best approach to use in practical applications.…”

A Dielectric-Filled Waveguide Antenna Element for 3D Imaging Radar in High Temperature and Excessive Dust Conditions

“…The Vivaldi microstrip antenna is widely used in wideband array, but this kind of antenna is difficult to use in high temperatures and dust environments. The dielectric rod antenna was reported as being used in a millimeter imaging system recently [ 13 ], but the antenna beam is narrow and cannot be applied to large-angle imaging.…”

One million fps digital holography

“…Introduction: Digital holography [1][2][3] is a technique capable of recording complex amplitude information of an object. In this technique, an interference fringe image of the object, which is called a hologram, is recorded by a CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS image sensor, and the complex amplitude of the object is numerically reconstructed from the electronically recorded hologram by the computer.…”
