    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining a distance (r) to a target object (200) consisting in transmitting electromagnetic waves in the form of a transmission signal (120a) by a transmitter (111a), receiving at least one part of said transmission signal (120a) reflected by a the target object (200) in the form of a reception signal (120c, 120d) by receiving device (111b) and evaluating the reception signal (120c, 120d) according a reference signal (1230b) which has a known phase difference with respect to the transmission signal (120a) and a frequency equal to the frequency thereof. The reference (120) and reception (120c, 120d) signal frequencies are reduced in a frequency divider (113) with the same predefined divider factor (x) while preserving the existing phase difference between the reference signal (120b) and the reception (120c, 120d) signal in such a way that a reduced frequency reception signal (120b′) and a reduced frequency reception signal (120d) are obtained. The frequency difference between the reduced frequency reception signal (120b′) and reduced frequency reception signal (120d′) is evaluated in order to determine the distance (R).

    摘要: In order to image test objects by electromagnetic waves, in particular millimetric waves, a test object is illuminated with the electromagnetic waves, the scattered waves are received, and are evaluated for a representation of the test object in the form of an image based on the principle of “synthetic aperture radar” (SAR). In order to allow as large an area as possible to be imaged with high resolution in a short time, the phase centres of the transmitting and receiving antennas are, according to the invention, moved on a circular path parallel to the respective digital focus planes of the imaging system, and are at the same time shifted linearly in a further direction parallel to the respective focus plane. The method can be used for monitoring people for suspicious objects, for example for monitoring airline passengers at an airport.

    摘要: A magnetically-tunable filter comprising a filter housing with two tunable resonator spheres made of magnetizable material, which are disposed one above the other in two filter arms. At least one filter arm provides a fin line or slot line disposed on a substrate layer and extending in the direction towards an electrical contact, and a common coupling aperture, thereby connecting the two filter arms to one another. In this context, one resonator sphere is positioned within each filter arm on each of the two sides of the coupling aperture.
