On the Forward Scattering of Microwave Breast Imaging [PDF]
Microwave imaging for breast cancer detection has been of significant interest for the last two decades. Recent studies focus on solving the imaging problem using an inverse scattering approach. Efforts have mainly been focused on the development of the inverse scattering algorithms, experimental setup, antenna design and clinical trials.

Frequency-Tunable Microwave Field Detection in an Atomic Vapor Cell [PDF]
We use an atomic vapor cell as a frequency tunable microwave field detector operating at frequencies from GHz to tens of GHz. We detect microwave magnetic fields from 2.3 GHz to 26.4 GHz, and measure the amplitude of the sigma+ component of an 18 GHz microwave field.

Microwave Surveillance based on Ghost Imaging and Distributed Antennas [PDF]
In this letter, we proposed a ghost imaging (GI) and distributed antennas based microwave surveillance scheme. By analyzing its imaging resolution and sampling requirement, the potential of employing microwave GI to achieve high-quality surveillance performance with low system complexity has been demonstrated. The theoretical analysis and effectiveness

Imaging of microwave fields using ultracold atoms [PDF]
We report a technique that uses clouds of ultracold atoms as sensitive, tunable, and non-invasive probes for microwave field imaging with micrometer spatial resolution. The microwave magnetic field components drive Rabi oscillations on atomic hyperfine transitions whose frequency can be tuned with a static magnetic field.

Ultra-wideband microwave imaging of heterogeneities [PDF]
The technique of time-reversal acoustics was applied to image a bottle filled with saline, using an eight element Vivaldi antenna array with frequency bandwidth 2 to 8 GHz. At these short length scales, a smooth three-dimensional image of the bottle was obtained, with the usual limitations imposed by limited offset and frequency.

Systematic Microwave Source Motions along Flare-arcade Observed by Nobeyama Radioheliograph and AIA/SDO [PDF]
We found systematic microwave source motions along a flare-arcade using Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) 17 GHz images. The motions were associated with a X-class disk flare which occurred on 15th February 2011. For this study, we also used EUV images from Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and magnetograms from Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI ...

Microwave Imaging under Oblique Illumination [PDF]
Microwave imaging based on inverse scattering problem has been attracting many interests in the microwave society. Among some major technical challenges, the ill-posed, multi-dimensional inversion algorithm and the complicated measurement setup are critical ones that prevent it from practical applications.

AMI Observations of the Anomalous Microwave Emission in the Perseus Molecular Cloud [PDF]
We present observations of the known anomalous microwave emission region, G159.6-18.5, in the Perseus molecular cloud at 16 GHz performed with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Small Array. These are the highest angular resolution observations of G159.6-18.5 at microwave wavelengths. By combining these microwave data with infrared observations between 5.
