Description
Summary:Due to technological advances, imaging in the THz-range of the electromagnetic spectrum is currently emerging as an interesting tool for security, safety, and biomedical applications. In this paper, a THz imaging system designed for biomedical analysis is described. The system consists of a pair of antennas operating in transmission mode at 335 GHz. The antennas can be moved independently of each other and a tomographic imaging algorithm is used to reconstruct the images.
