IMAGING THROUGH MEDIA USING ARTIFICIALLY STRUCTURED MATERIALS

According to various embodiments, systems and methods for through imaging a medium are disclosed. An apparatus can include one or more radiating elements comprising one or more artificially-structured materials. The one or more radiating elements can be configured to transmit a radiation pattern of electromagnetic energy into a medium. The apparatus also can include one or more receiving elements configured to receive backscattered energy from the radiation pattern of electromagnetic energy transmitted into the medium. The backscattered energy received by the one or more receiving elements can be used to generate one or more through images of the medium.
