Abstract: Sensing characteristics of an object includes transmitting a stepped-frequency radar through an object and detecting, with multiple receiving structures, deflected portions of the radar signal. The detected portions are processed to generate processed data including information associated with amplitudes and phases of the deflected portions, and with the locations of the receiving structures at which the deflected portions were detected. The processed data is analyzed to determine information corresponding to dielectric properties particular positions within the object.

Robust location distinction using temporal link signatures
Neal Patwari,Sneha Kumar Kasera +1 more
- 09 Sep 2007
TL;DR: This paper proposes using a measured temporal link signature to uniquely identify the link between a transmitter and a receiver and demonstrates that this method significantly increases the detection rate and reduces the false alarm rate, in comparison to existing methods.

Security system and method
Tex Yukl
- 21 Jan 1998
TL;DR: A microwave/dielectric-response-based security system for detecting contraband is described in this article, which includes an interrogation region through which a target that is to be screened passes, an appropriate transmitter/receiver array that operates adjacent this region for illuminating, and monitoring a dielectric response received from, a target in the region, and electronics which effectively produce output data that is interpretable to identify the presence or absence of contraband associated with the illuminated target.
