Area of Science:

  • Applied Physics
  • Electromagnetics
  • Imaging Science

Background:

  • Terahertz (THz) imaging offers unique capabilities for non-ionizing, standoff detection.
  • Existing THz imaging systems face challenges in achieving high resolution and fast screening.
  • Sparse array antennas are crucial for reducing system complexity and data acquisition time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel terahertz imaging scheme utilizing a sparse rotating array for fast and standoff personal screening.
  • To propose a modified imaging algorithm and an array optimization method for enhanced imaging performance.
  • To validate the proposed scheme's effectiveness through theoretical analysis, simulations, and a human-scattering model.

Main Methods:

  • A linearly sparse array was designed to move along a circular path.
  • A modified frequency-domain reconstruction algorithm, adapted from circular synthetic aperture radar, was employed.
  • An optimization method for the sparse array was developed based on spectral support distribution.
  • Point spread function (PSF) analysis was performed for theoretical resolution assessment.
  • Simulations and imaging of a human-scattering model were conducted for validation.

Main Results:

  • Theoretical and numerical analyses demonstrated the high-resolution imaging capability of the proposed scheme.
  • Simulations confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of the sparse array optimization method.
  • Imaging results from a human-scattering model validated the practical performance of the terahertz imaging system.
  • The developed scheme achieved fast and standoff screening with improved imaging quality.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed terahertz imaging scheme with a sparse rotating array offers a promising solution for fast and standoff personal screening.
  • The modified imaging algorithm and array optimization method significantly enhance imaging performance and resolution.
  • This work provides a foundation for practical terahertz imaging systems in security inspection applications.
