Abstract :
A near field imaging system for THz tomographic imaging based on a MST retina (an array of real antennas) has been designed. The main advantage of this implementation is the absence of microwave transmission line distribution networks and the capability to perform high speed imaging. The aim of this paper is to describe the design of the retina in order to maximize the performance of this imaging system.
