Abstract

Multichannel passive millimeter-wave (PMMW) imaging systems have advantage in operating speed, however traditional data processing methods for single channel systems are not applicable for such kind of system. This paper describes an 8-mm multichannel PMMW imaging system, points out the specific problems encountered in multichannel systems, and proposes an experimental multichannel calibration approach in microwave unreflected chamber. In the last superresolution algorithms considering imaging process and some related issues are discussed. The imaging result shows the proposed processing approaches are effective.
