Abstract
The improved spatial and thermal resolution of a broad-band microwave correlation radiometer is discussed. Theoretical upper and lower bounds of the combined spatial and thermal resolution in a dense transmission medium are presented along with data obtained for two thermal sources in air. The application of broad-band correlation techniques to medical microwave thermography is novel, and the results indicate that electronic scanning of tissue should be possible.
