Abstract:
1. An imaging system comprising: a frame extending around a single subject position; at least three antenna arrays fixedly mounted to the frame at spaced-apart locations distributed around and spaced from the single subject position, each array including at least one antenna unit configured to transmit directly toward and receive directly from a subject in the subject position, electromagnetic radiation in a frequency range of about 200 MHz to about 1 THz, from a position fixed relative to and spaced from the single subject position, each antenna array transmitting electromagnetic radiation toward a portion of a subject located in the subject position that does not receive electromagnetic radiation from at least one other antenna array; a transceiver configured to operate each antenna array and to produce an output representative of the radiation received while the subject is in the single subject position; and a processor adapted to convert the transceiver output into image data representative of an image of the subject.
