3 Millimeter-wave imaging with high resolution Making use of high frequency and wide bandwidth of millimeter-wave, the platform uses linear frequency modulation working mechanism to perform fast two-dimensional scanning together with a scanner, acquire whole 3D information of the target under test, and realize high resolution three-dimensional imaging or two-dimensional tomography. It can be widely applied in composite material test, internal defect diagnosis, food test and other non-destructive tests. Near-field to far-field RCS transformation technology The platform is capable of near filed test transforming far-field RCS, which can perform test on scattering property of target with larger size and higher working band, and provide test solutions for users limited by field circumstances. Multi-domain measurement Besides fundamental sweep measurement, the platform is capable of time-domain display of test results by conversion technology from time to frequency domain, for convenient check on one-dimensional distribution regularity of target scattering property. It supports angle domain
