Millimeter-wave MIMO array measurement system for imaging and channel characterization

Abstract

Millimeter-wave band offer unique characteristicsto obtain good spatial position and resolution of certain type oftargets. The aim of this paper is to study a near-field focusingtechnique applied to the imaging of different geometries, from ananalytical, numerical and experimental point of view. Millimeter-wave band scattering simulations are performed and comparedwith imaging reconstruction of experimental measurements,using a particular set-up and scenario. This work is a first stepto contribute to the growing need of sensing the environment andsurrounding objects of moving devices, such as new generationvehicles, in a clear and robust way with respect to other formsof sensing.
