Abstract

The application of near-field interferometric imaging to the Terahertz frequency range for detection of concealed objects is discussed. A circular array architecture can be employed to compensate for near-field distortions and increase the field of view and depth of focus. The lateral and focusing errors of this imaging method are discussed as well as the trade-offs of interferometric imaging compared to a focal plane array architecture.
