Improvement of the Microwave Imaging System by Deconvolution of the Antenna Pulse Response

In the paper a microwave imaging system and its algorithm of image reconstruction from the raw measurement data were briefly introduced. Authors observed that pulse responses of the antennas used in the system have similar duration to the measurement pulse and therefore also contribute to the limits of system resolution. Paper presents a simple method that improves the system performance by additional deconvolution of the antenna pulse responses. Method was verified experimentally.
