چکیده
A prototype imaging system for active microwave tomography using cylindrical geometry has been developed, making is possible to obtain images of the dielectric properties of biological targets at 2.45 GHz. The system requires no mechanical movements to illuminate the body from multiple directions (views) and measure the scattered fields. In this way a complete data set consisting in 64 views is acquired in 3 s using low-power illumination. The system is described, including images obtained with biological phantoms and actual bodies.

* D Abstract --Lossless broad-band microwave active inductors for generalpurpose use in microwave circuits are proposed and their characteristics are discussed. These active inductors are composed of a common-source cascode FET and a feedback FET, and operate in a wide frequency range with very low series resistance. A maximum Q factor of 65 is obtained. Theoretically, it can reach infinity. Fu...

| New formulas for the maximum permissible time step in TLM hybrid nodes modelling anisotropic media are introduced and analyzed. It is shown that the value of the time step in most cases can be higher than that suggested by the minimum node dimension. The chosen value of the time step has signiicant impact on the dispersion characteristics of the hybrid symmetrical condensed node.

Recent results have demonstrated the feasibility of quasi-real-time, active as well as harmless microwave imaging for biomedical purposes. Such a pkreess allows tomographic reconstructions based on differences in the complex permittivity of tissues, the temperature dependence of which can be used for remote thermaf sensing. A basic experiment conducted in water at 3-GH2 yielded information on s...

This paper investigates a measurement method that characterizes lossy printed multiconductor transmission lines, its accuracy, the choice of measurement representations, and some simple approximations. We illustrate the method with measurements of a pair of lossy coupled asymmetric microstrip lines.

A comparative study at 2.45 GHz concerning both measurement and reconstruction parameters for planar and cylindrical configurations is presented. For the sake of comparison, a numerical model consisting of two nonconcentric cylinders is considered and reconstructed using both geometries from simulated experimental data. The scattered fields and reconstructed images permit extraction of very use...
