Abstract:
Illustrative embodiments disclosed herein pertain to a thermal imaging system that includes a thermal imaging sheet having an array of thermal unit cells for generating a thermal footprint in response to receiving an RF signal. The thermal footprint is composed of an array of hotspots having a first set of hotspots indicative of a radiation characteristic of a first polarization component of the RF signal, and a second set of hotspots indicative of a radiation characteristic of a second polarization component of the RF signal. Each thermal unit cell includes a first RF antenna and a second RF antenna oriented orthogonal with respect to each other. The first RF antenna includes a terminating resistor that generates a hotspot among the first set of hotspots and the second RF antenna includes another terminating resistor that generates a hotspot in the second set of hotspots.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for thermal imaging using an infrared imaging camera, the method comprising:\n receiving a radio-frequency (RF) signal on a thermal imaging sheet of a thermal imaging system; and generating a first thermal footprint on the thermal imaging sheet in response to receiving the RF signal, the first thermal footprint comprising a pair of hotspots generated by a thermal unit cell, the thermal unit cell comprising:\n a first RF antenna having a first conductor, a second conductor, and a first terminating resistor connected between adjacent ends of the first conductor and the second conductor, wherein the first terminating resistor generates a first hotspot in the pair of hotspots; and \n a second RF antenna having a third conductor, a fourth conductor, and a second terminating resistor connected between adjacent ends of the third conductor and the fourth conductor, the second RF antenna arranged in a T-configuration with respect to the first RF antenna, wherein the second terminating resistor generates a second hotspot in the pair of hotspots.
