A THz imaging system for biomedical applications

Imaging using the THz-range of the electro-magnetic spectrum is currently emerging as an interesting tool for security, safety, and biomedical applications. In this paper, a THz imaging system designed for biomedical analysis is described. The system consists of a pair of antennas operating in transmission mode at 335 GHz. During measurements the antennas are moved parallel to the sample under investigation while data is collected.
