Nikol ova from McMaster University\, on Friday\, March 19\, 2021\, 4-5 pm EDT.\n \nAbstract: In the last decade\, we have witnessed dramatic decrease in th e price and size of on-chip transceivers and radars along with their incre ased functionality. This has spurred unprecedented growth in imaging\, sen sing and detection applications\, defining the current and future growth o f wireless technology.\n\nWe will introduce the methods of real-time micro wave and millimeter-wave imaging\, which allow to “see” inside optical ly opaque objects. The electromagnetic models of wave propagation that lin k the object’s electrical properties to the microwave measurements are b riefly introduced with an emphasis on the approximations\, which enable re al-time image reconstruction. We will discuss the detrimental effects of t hese approximations on the reconstructed images and how these effects are mitigated through the careful design of the acquisition apparatus and thro ugh data processing. We will briefly dive into the inner workings of two r econstruction methods\, microwave holography and the scattered-power mappi ng\, along with examples of real-time quantitative image reconstruction of complex dielectric objects.\n\nSpeaker(s): Natalia K.
