  • Abstract
    In security applications, items or substances of interest are generally hidden and therefore, for body inspection, must be identified through clothes. We show that diffractive behavior of fabrics when illuminated by THz wave can complicate such approach. This effect is demonstrated performing an angle-resolved THz time-domain spectroscopy experiment and confirmed by a HFSS numerical simulation.
