Multi-functional microwave photonic radar system for simultaneous distance and velocity measurement and high-resolution microwave imaging [PDF]
A photonic-assisted multi-functional radar system for simultaneous distance and velocity measurement and high-resolution microwave imaging is proposed and experimentally demonstrated by using a composite transmitted microwave signal of a single-chirped linearly frequency-modulated (LFM) signal and a single-tone microwave signal.

Demonstration of highly-sensitive wideband microwave sensing using ensemble nitrogen-vacancy centers [PDF]
Microwave magnetometry is essential for the advancement of microwave technologies. We demonstrate a broadband microwave sensing protocol using the AC Zeeman effect with ensemble nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. A widefield microscope can visualize the frequency characteristics of the microwave resonator and the spatial distribution of off ...

We aim to present a tutorial on the detection, parameter estimation and statistical analysis of compact sources (far galaxies, galaxy clusters and Galactic dense emission regions) in cosmic microwave background observations. The topic is of great relevance for current and future cosmic microwave background missions because the presence of compact ...

Atomic resolution imaging at 2.5 GHz using near-field microwave microscopy [PDF]
Atomic resolution imaging is demonstrated using a hybrid scanning tunneling/near-field microwave microscope (microwave-STM). The microwave channels of the microscope correspond to the resonant frequency and quality factor of a coaxial microwave resonator, which is built in to the STM scan head and coupled to the probe tip.

Microwave Imaging and Emerging Applications [PDF]
Active microwave imaging for biomedical has been proposed, studied, and implemented to varying degrees by a plethora of worldwide institutions for the last 30 years. Much of the interest has been based on the fact that tissue dielectric properties embody important information about physiological state and function.

Widefield Microwave Imaging in Alkali Vapor Cells with sub-100 um Resolution [PDF]
We report on widefield microwave vector field imaging with sub um resolution using a microfabricated alkali vapor cell. The setup can additionally image dc magnetic fields, and can be configured to image microwave electric fields. Our camera-based widefield imaging system records 2D images with a 6x6 mm2 field of view at a rate of 10 Hz. It provides up

A Comprehensive Review of Microwave Imaging for Brain Tumour Detection [PDF]
Antennas are known to radiate and absorb radiation. We can use this property of antennas in microwave imaging. In microwave imaging the dielectric of the surrounding objects is considered. The S11 parameters are studied. These parameters are different for cells with tumor and without.

Microwave device characterisation using a widefield diamond microscope [PDF]
Devices relying on microwave circuitry form a cornerstone of many classical and emerging quantum technologies. A capability to provide in-situ, noninvasive and direct imaging of the microwave fields above such devices would be a powerful tool for their function and failure analysis.

Near-Field Scanning Microwave Microscopy: Measuring Local Microwave Properties and Electric Field Distributions [PDF]
We describe the near-field microwave microscopy of microwave devices on a length scale much smaller than the wavelength used for imaging. Our microscope can be operated in two possible configurations, allowing a quantitative study of either material properties or local electric fields.
