Abstract
A practical millimeter-wave (mmw) holographic imaging system with tunable intermediate frequency (IF) attenuator has been developed. It can be used for the detection of concealed weapons at security checkpoints, especially the airport. The system is utilized to scan the passenger and detect the weapons hidden in the clothes. To reconstruct the three dimensions (3-D) image, a holographic mmw imaging algorithm based on aperture synthesis and back scattering is presented. The system is active and works at 28–33 GHz. Tunable IF attenuator is applied to compensate the intensity and phase differences between multi-channels and multi-frequencies.
