Abstract :
A coherent wideband millimeter wave (mmW) imaging radar which operates in two different imaging modes is briefly described. The principles of two-dimensional (2-D) high resolution imaging are introduced. The image reconstruction algorithm together with image enhancement techniques are discussed. Some experiments imaging on both scaled aircraft model and full-size large scale vehicle are presented.<>
