Basic Principles and Potential Applications of Holographic Microwave Imaging

This monograph offers comprehensive descriptions of the most important principles so far proposed for far-field holographic microwave imaging-
including reconstruction procedures and imaging systems and apparatus-
enabling the reader to use microwaves for diagnostic purposes in a wide
range of applications. This hands-on resource features:
¿ A review of the existing medical imaging methods-including
theory, apparatus and challenges, introducing some new medical
imaging techniques.
¿ A review of the existing microwave imaging techniques-including
theory, apparatus, medical applications and challenges, written
from an engineering perspective and with notations.
¿ Currently proposed holographic microwave imaging technique including
reconstruction procedures and imaging systems and
apparatus-enabling the reader to use microwaves for diagnostic
purposes in a wide range of applications.
¿ A discussion of practical applications with detailed descriptions
and discussions of several specific examples (e.g., imaging dielectric
object, small inclusion detection, and medical applications).
¿ A conclusion of the proposed holographic microwave imaging
technique and discussions of future research directions.
