Problems solved by technology

The traditional scanning imaging technology uses mechanical rotation to scan, but there are many problems: the scanning speed is very low due to mechanical rotation, and the imaging speed is slow; and the mechanical rotation has problems of low precision and high noise; in addition, it takes a long time in the field of security inspection. work, mechanical scanning will generate heat and even cause failure, and its mechanical drive requires a lot of power, and the cost of use is very high
However, for a broadband millimeter-wave signal, to extract the signals of each frequency one by one, it is necessary to design a very complicated millimeter-wave filter circuit, resulting in low efficiency, poor circuit stability, and serious electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.

Abstract

The invention provides a novel millimeter wave imager based on the optical filtering technology and the frequency scan antenna technology and the imager can be used in the fields such as remote sensing, reconnaissance, security inspection and detection of dangerous goods. In the imager, a millimeter wave frequency scanning antenna is used to receive radiated and scattered signals of the millimeter wave from a detected region, the millimeter wave signals amplified and output by a low noise amplifier pass through an electrooptical modulator to modulate the optical signals output by a laser performing continuous wave frequency scanning; after the modulated optical signals pass through an optical fiber filter for filtering, and a photoelectric detector is used for detection. By means of the step and periodic changes of the frequency of the laser, the photoelectric detector finally detects the millimeter wave signals respectively which are from different directions, have different frequencies and are received by the frequency scan antenna and forms an one-dimensional image; and an two-dimensional image can be obtained by forming a frequency scan antenna array or scanning in another direction.
