Abstract
Depth resolution and contrast (grayscale) resolution test objects have been proposed for incorporation into an ANSI standard for image quality of active millimeter wave (MMW) imagers for screening humans. A design for a depth resolution target has required the need for a thin film to generate a reflection while allowing for metal targets behind it to be visible to MMW imagers. Materials to accomplish this task have been identified, essentially acting as a millimeter wave beam splitter. Images obtained with a wide-bandwidth MMW imaging system are discussed. Additionally, by altering the resistivity of the thin film, the reflection coefficient of the film changes, allowing these films to be used as a contrast phantom for the testing of millimeter wave imaging systems. Measurements using laboratory millimeter wave systems are in good agreement with theory, and an image collected with a commercially-available MMW imaging systems is presented.
