Millimeter-Wave Imaging System Based on Direct-Conversion Focal-Plane Array Receiver.

A new approach to millimeter-wave imaging was suggested and experimentally studied. This approach can be considered as the evolution of the well-established focal-plane array (FPA) millimeter-wave imaging. The significant difference is the use of a direct-conversion array receiver, instead of the direct-detection array receiver, along with the frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar technique.
