Abstract
We present a bistatic extension of a broadband monostatic FMCW Radar working in the Millimetre-Wave (MMW) region and its bistatic imaging properties used for imaging purposes. Due to the different perspective of a bistatic setup compared to a monostatic one, additional information can be obtained. A wide bandwidth of approx. 10 GHz is used for the task of high resolution imaging as it could be used for the detection of threats at a person's body in security-sensitive environments. Since MMWs propagate easily through common clothing, it is feasible to image objects like concealed weapons worn under the clothing. MMW-Imaging of humans is one possibility to enhance the capabilities of nowadays security checkpoints, e.g. at airports.
