Microwave tomography: some results about its imaging performances

Two fundamental types of coherent, diffraction-based tomographic techniques were examined: (1) tomography where the forward scattered field is received and processed for different angular positions of the transmitter-receiver set; and (2) tomography where the backscattered field from the explored body is received and processed for different angular positions of the explored body. The results obtained about the influence of the matching conditions for the case (1), about the influence of the frequency range value used in exploration for the case (2) are presented.
