Multistatic Uniform Diffraction Tomography and Time-Reversal Algorithms for Microwave Imaging of Multilayered Media

Abstract

Microwave imaging, widely used in biomedical, radar, and non-destructive testing, is applied here to industrial microwave drying. This study develops two novel imaging algorithms compatible with limited antennas for real-time target location and dielectric constant retrieval. A multistatic uniform diffraction tomography (MUDT) algorithm enhances imaging efficiency, while a time-reversal imaging (TRI) method.
