To improve throughput in security inspection procedures, a millimeter-wave (mmW) imaging system with a high-throughput operation with reasonable resolution compared to conventional mmW imaging systems is developed. Investigates the distinctive attributes of mmW, including its safe penetration through clothing, the study demonstrates the generation of detailed two-dimensional reconstructions of objects. Through the strategic use of a lens, signal amplitudes and phases are effectively captured, yielding reconstruction images from the signal reflected from the target. Experimental validations further affirm the effectiveness of mmW imaging with a dielectric lens, showcasing successful reconstructions of targets positioned at the lens’s front focal plane. Notably, the approach exhibits proficiency in discerning objects obscured behind non-metallic materials such as paper and cloth. These findings highlight the potential of utilizing Fourier transform analysis and a dielectric lens in mmW imaging, presenting a promising approach for security applications, particularly in the detection of concealed objects.
