Abstract

In this paper, we propose a dual-polarization correlation radiometry system to obtain an image of heat sources in the biological tissues. To receive the polarized signal caused by grains of tissue, a square waveguide antenna was used for dual-polarization. We chose 3.7 GHz as the operating frequency for the correlation radiometry system considering the penetration depth of a biological tissue consisting of skin, fat, and muscle. We experimentally demonstrated that the dual-polarization system is superior to the single-polarization system for imaging the heat source distribution in the biological tissue.
