Special Issue Information

The objective of electromagnetic imaging is to retrieve information about tested structures by studying their interactions with electromagnetic waves. To make a long story short, this involves solving an inverse problem, where the measurable effect is a field-related quantity, and the cause is related to the targets’ geometric and electromagnetic properties. The major benefit of using non-ionizing radiation for electromagnetic imaging is the possibility of acquiring target features and analyzing objects in a fully non-invasive and safe way.

Thanks to the continuous development of imaging techniques and algorithms, an uncountable number of applications across almost all bands of the frequency spectrum are emerging.

Based on the frequency band, the achievable resolution of imaging techniques can vary significantly (basically, this ranges from meters in the RF band to fractions of millimeters at THz frequencies), and therefore applications may be very diverse.

The targets of interest for electromagnetic imaging include deep and shallow subsurface regions, civil and archeological structures, industrial products, the human body, plants and their fruits, food, and many others. Therefore, the applications may be related to a wide range of fields, from biomedical diagnostics to space exploration, and from nondestructive testing to security. In all cases, the successful application of electromagnetic imaging methodologies requires a strong connection between analytical and numerical modeling, measurement system design, and processing algorithms.
