Abstract

The essential technical aspects of Passive Millimeter Wave Imaging have been known for nearly a century, but widespread implementation did not occur until inexpensive millimeter wave amplifiers appeared in the 1990. This paper takes a look at the early work that has led to today's successful PMMW products, as well as some of the failed technologies that seem to be revisited over and over again.
