TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of microwave imaging technology, and relates to a 3D microwave near-field imaging method, device, system and medium thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The microwave imaging technology is based on the research on the propagation and scattering of microwaves in various complex media, and reconstructs the complex permittivity image inside the measured medium by measuring the scattering field data outside the measured medium. The measured scattering field carries a large amount of information about the scattering body, and some characteristics of the scattering body itself, such as the shape of the scattering body and the distribution of the permittivity, can be extracted by using the prior knowledge about the scattering target and through appropriate mathematical processing. Since the microwave imaging can realize non-destructive detection of the target, the target can be geometrically and physically imaged at the same time.
[0003] Reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 In the prior art, the antenna arrays of the antenna array structure are connected in sequence, and there is no spacing between the adjacent two antenna arrays. Therefore, under the condition that the size of the antenna array structure is constant, more antenna arrays are laid out, and correspondingly, more transceiving antennas are used. When the antenna array of this type generates imaging, the back projection algorithm or the wave number domain method is generally used to generate imaging. Although the back projection algorithm generates images with high quality, the calculation speed is not fast enough. Although the wave number domain method generates images with high calculation speed, the resolution of the near-field imaging is related to the imaging distance.
