A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) based virtual tool is developed to create various imaging scenarios and to generate synthetic scattering data. Matlab-based imaging algorithms are developed to process recorded FDTD data and to reconstruct objects. Different contour synthetic aperture type scanning configurations and reconstruction techniques are applied and their effects oil imaging are reviewed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFDTDGround penetrating radar (GPR)Image reconstructionMicrowave imagingMine detectionObject identificationSensor scanSubsurface imagingSynthetic aperture radarTumor detectionWaveform designBreast-cancer detectionGround-penetrating radarEngineeringOpticsFinite difference time domain methodGeological surveysImage classificationImage reconstructionImaging systemsMATLABMicrowavesObject recognitionPhotoacoustic effectRadarRadar antennasRestorationSensorsSynthetic aperture radarSynthetic aperturesTracking radarTumorsWaveform analysisRadar imagingArticle0002641118000562-s2.0-6364915776510701075514Engineering, electrical & electronicOpticsUltra-Wideband (UWB); Phantoms; Microstrip Antennas
