Abstract :
Using image processing, we achieve spatial resolution enhancement for a coherent, synthetic, phased-array THz imaging system. These techniques eliminate higher order scattering processes, or clutter, and recover otherwise lost resolution in images of two abutting 397 /spl mu/m diameter spheres.
