Compared to traditional passive millimeter-wave imaging systems, AIM imaging uses the transmission of spatiotemporally incoherent signals, leading to better sensitivity and enabling image reconstruction at rates exceeding 650 fps. Fast imaging of conducting objects may lead to improvements in a number of applications including non-destructive evaluation. AIM image reconstruction quality, and thus the capability to diagnose defects, is highly dependent on the physical layout of the antennas. In this work we compare a traditional Y-shaped array with a uniform circular (O-array) layout with the same number of elements. The O-array has less redundancy and thus yields more spatial frequency samples, leading to improved image quality. We investigate imaging of a set of conducting objects to show improved spurious signal reduction in the O-array.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115109417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field-impulses are physically real, causal and gauge-independent for aptly describing electromagnetics. This paper presents the derivation of Maxwell's (Faraday and Ampere) equations using field-impulses. The derivation assumes that the equations are not available in complete explicit form beforehand, and only makes references to some earlier key findings before Maxwell. It also exploits judiciously the definition and relation of field-impulses, the physical reality of their time/spatial derivatives and their mathematical (e.g. solenoidal) properties. Being the necessary and sufficient fundamental physical quantities, the field-impulses find usefulness in field derivation as well as many aspects of classical and quantum electromagnetics.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123396225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cardiac ablation of infarcts is shown to reduce arrhythmogenic events. Current methods are inadequate to monitor the lesions during infarct ablation. Therefore novel noninvasive tools are necessary to provide real-time monitoring of ablation and to titrate the ablative power to reduce arrhythmogenicity. The purpose of this simulation study was to demonstrate the feasibility of microwave imaging (MWI) to monitor the temperature profile of the lesions during infarct ablation. A 2D model of the left ventricle was used with an infarct region of interest for microwave imaging electromagnetic simulation at 915 MHz using known myocardial dielectric properties and its temperature dependence. Distorted Born Iterative Method (DBIM) was used to reconstruct the relative permittivity that is mapped to the temperature field and compared within the infarct region. Good agreement was observed between the reconstructed and assigned temperature field within the infarct region. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using MWI for the non-invasive assessment of infarct tissue temperatures during ablation.","PeriodicalId":383636,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (USNC-URSI)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123473508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
