Realtime Three-Dimensional Near-Field Microwave Imaging System (2025-2029)
Abstract
The project aims to develop a three-dimensional microwave system that can image and monitor the internal structure of objects in real-time. It will be portable, non-invasive, non-destructive, and non-ionizing, making it ideal for many key applications. It will have a compact antenna array designed to uniformly irradiate the object and collect microwave data that are processed using a combination of compressive sensing and physics-informed deep learning methods for fast and reliable imaging, whereas time-space analysis will enable tracking any changes in the object. The technique will revolutionize microwave imaging and sensing and is a game-changer in many fields such as healthcare and infrastructure, products, and materials inspection.
