Patent ID: 11022567

Abstract:
An apparatus for producing an image of an object by electromagnetic radiation includes a transmitting device for producing the electromagnetic radiation, a plurality of transmitting antennas connected to the transmitting device for emitting the electromagnetic radiation, a plurality of receiving antennas, which receive the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the transmitting antennas, and a receiving device, connected to the plurality of receiving antennas, for receiving the electromagnetic radiation and a motor-driven rotating scanner. The transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas are arranged on the scanner. The scanner is set up in such a way that the transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas are rotatable at the same speed about an axis of rotation. The transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that the object can be moved past them, and so in an operating mode of the apparatus the electromagnetic radiation is transported through the object or is reflected by the object.
