Millimeter-Wave Imaging for FOD Detection

Description

We present an efficient approach to reconstruct images of small objects and Foreign Object Debris (FODs) from scattered field synthetic data and measurements in W-band (75-110 GHz), taking advantages of spatial and polarization diversities, and processed with either qualitative or quantitative inverse methods. The target application is FOD detection for airport runways. Most existing systems are monostatic but rapid advances in millimeter-wave technologies make it realistic to imagine the deployment of multistatic radars on either side of airport runways. In the following, we investigate the contribution of multistatic measurements, on the reconstruction of typical debris, courtesy of DGAC (French Civil Aviation).
