摘要: A single frequency, or very narrow frequency band, microwave imaging system is described herein. A microwave imaging system can include an array transmitter; an array receiver; and a computing device that receives signals detected from the array receiver, transforms the signals received by the array receiver into independent spatial measurements, constructs an image using the independent spatial measurements, and outputs a reconstructed image. The array transmitter and the array receiver may each have a plurality of independently controllable metasurface resonant elements.

摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods relating to sensing the presence of a lifeform. In particular, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting the presence of a lifeform in a building or room using dynamic metasurface aperture (DMA), which overcome many limitations of currently available radio frequency (RF) or infrared (IR)-based systems.

摘要: According to various embodiments, systems and methods for through imaging a medium are disclosed. An apparatus can include one or more radiating elements comprising one or more artificially-structured materials. The one or more radiating elements can be configured to transmit a radiation pattern of electromagnetic energy into a medium. The apparatus also can include one or more receiving elements configured to receive backscattered energy from the radiation pattern of electromagnetic energy transmitted into the medium. The backscattered energy received by the one or more receiving elements can be used to generate one or more through images of the medium.
