ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to estimate objectively the accuracy of object recovery and reconstruction. It outlines that the transmission radio-wave tomography is a direct development of X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance tomography, but, in contrast to these methods, it takes into account the wave nature of radiation, which is manifested in multiple diffraction and interference interactions. To estimate the losses in spatial resolution with increase of the distance r to the tested object, a special experiment was carried out with two metallic cylinders ranged at a distance of 6 cm in the transverse direction to the test system. The use of monostatic methods of radiometry to resolve tomography problems requires, in many cases, the use of one of the antennas as both the transmitter and the receiver, which achieves much better reconstruction of the radio image of the tested object.
