Abstract:
An ultra-wide band microwave based personnel/passenger screening system, and in particular, a system for material specific detection, uses non-ionizing radiation in which focused beams of low intensity microwave radiation are projected in rapid succession at an individual as they walk through a portal.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of scanning a passenger walking along a longitudinal axis of an inspection region of a portal, wherein the inspection region is defined by a central portal, an entrance funnel, and an exit funnel, wherein the central portal comprises a right panel and a left panel, said right and left panels opposing each other in a substantially parallel configuration, wherein the entrance funnel comprises a first panel positioned at an angle of 5 to 85 degrees relative to a front end of the right panel of the central portal and a second panel positioned at an angle of 5 to 85 degrees relative to a front end of the left panel of the central portal, and wherein the exit funnel comprises a first panel positioned at an angle of 5 to 85 degrees relative to a back end of the right panel of the central portal and a second panel positioned at an angle of 5 to 85 degrees relative to a back end of the left panel of the central portal, the method comprising:\n projecting RF beams on the passenger from a plurality of transmitter elements on each of the panels of said central portal, entrance and exit funnels, wherein more than one transmitter element is active simultaneously and generates a plurality of scans of the inspection region while the passenger transits through the portal; receiving beams, scattered off the passenger, by a plurality of receiver elements on each of the panels of said central portal, entrance and exit funnels, wherein said scattered beams are a result of interactions of the projected RF beams with an upper surface and a rear surface of at least one object located on the passenger and with a surface on the passenger's body adjacent to the upper surface of the at least one object; and processing the scattered beams, using a plurality of processing blocks associated with said plurality of transmitter and receiver elements, to output data comprising at least one of a time, phase or frequency domain information, wherein said at least one of time, phase or frequency domain information is used to determine a location, shape, size, or relative permittivity of the at least one object.
