Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue (SI) is entitled “Recent Advances in Micro/Millimeter-Wave Imaging Technology”. In the past 20 years, micro/millimeter-wave technology has achieved great progress, benefiting from the market demand for communications, public security, and medical diagnostics. The performance of vacuum microwave sources, solid-state microwave devices, and microwave integrated circuits has improved by several orders of magnitude. Those breakthroughs, on high-power source and super sensitive detectors, provide essential technologies for advanced microwave imaging realization. High-speed data acquisition and steaming are established for micro/millimeter-wave real-time visualization applications on the sensor industry, defense systems, fusion diagnostics, cancer diagnosis/prevention, agriculture, public security, galaxy telescope, etc. Artificial intelligence and image neural network learning technology are also high-priority topics in the development of imaging technology. Integrated circuit (IC) technology facilitates combing many bulky microwave components onto single, tiny pieces of the semiconductor substrate. Such a compact ‘system-on-a-chip’ (SoC) can be inexpensively customized for fully optimized instruments. Undeniably, SoC is becoming one of the most important development trends of micro/millimeter-wave imaging technology, which provides the ultimate solution for the high integration level, high performance, strong tolerance in the harsh environment, and superior compatibility of the micro/millimeter-wave imaging system. We look forward to the latest research on micro/millimeter-wave in terms of technologies, applications, and visualization algorithms. Authors are encouraged to submit contributions in any of the following or related areas for micro/millimeter-wave imaging:
- Cutting-edge semiconductor technology application on microwave imaging;
- Vacuum electronics device development;
- Industry microwave sensor development;
- Data acquisition and steaming instruments for microwave imaging systems;
