Technical Field

Background
Microwave, millimeter wave and terahertz imaging have been widely studied in the past decades, and their application scenarios include security inspection, medical imaging, geographic detection, through-wall imaging, and the like. In recent years, with the increase of terrorist attack events, the demand of large-scale security inspection equipment in public places such as airports, stations, markets and the like is increasing, and microwaves have good penetrability to clothes, do not cause harm to human bodies and are very suitable for security inspection systems. Researchers at home and abroad are continuously exploring low-cost and high-resolution microwave security inspection imaging systems.
The traditional microwave imaging system adopts phased array or synthetic aperture radar to carry out beam scanning imaging, and has higher cost and larger power consumption. In recent years, the proposal of the compressive sensing theory opens up a new path for microwave imaging. By utilizing the sparsity of an imaging scene and using the random wave beams changing along with time to sample scene information, the correlation among different samples is greatly reduced, and the surface scattering characteristic distribution of a target can be extracted by inverting the measured sample information. Compared with the traditional beam synthesis scanning imaging, the imaging method based on the random beam only needs a single radio frequency channel, and has the advantages of low hardware cost and high imaging speed. There are currently two main structures available for random beam generation: frequency diversity antennas and programmable phased array antennas. Frequency diversity antennas often need broadband frequency spectrum to generate enough random patterns, wasting spectrum resources; the programmable phased array antenna can generate a plurality of random modes under a single frequency by randomly encoding and controlling the phase state of each unit, and has the advantage of high spectrum efficiency.

Detailed Description
An embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 1, the imaging area 6 is located on the xoy plane, N active frequency selective surfaces are disposed on a plane parallel to the imaging area, and N/2 transmitting antennas 4 and N/2 receiving antennas 5 are respectively disposed right behind the N/2 transmitting active frequency selective surfaces 2 and the N/2 receiving active frequency selective surfaces 3, wherein a single active frequency selective surface includes Ns units. The N/2 transmitting antennas 4 transmit and irradiate the electromagnetic waves fed from the output port of the transmitting power division network onto the transmitting active frequency selection surface 2, all phase modulation units on the surface are subjected to random phase modulation before the electromagnetic waves pass through the transmitting active frequency selection surface 2, so that the transmission phases of all the phase modulation units in the transmitting active frequency selection surface 2 are randomly distributed, and the electromagnetic waves pass through a random beam generated by the transmitting active frequency selection surface 2 to irradiate an imaging area 6; incident random wave beams interact with an imaging target 7 to generate scattered electromagnetic waves, the scattered electromagnetic waves irradiate an N/2 receiving type active frequency selection surface 3, and all phase modulation units on the surface are subjected to random phase modulation before the electromagnetic waves pass through the receiving type active frequency selection surface 3, so that the transmission phases of all the phase modulation units in the receiving type active frequency selection surface 3 are randomly distributed. The electromagnetic waves which are subjected to the two random phase modulations and carry the scattering characteristic distribution of the imaging region are finally received by the receiving antenna and enter a receiving channel of the radio frequency transceiving system, and are divided by signals transmitted by a transmitting channel of the radio frequency transceiving system to obtain a transmission scattering parameter S21 of the imaging system under the single random phase modulation, and one measurement is completed.
In a specific implementation process, the emission-type active frequency selective surface 2 and the reception-type active frequency selective surface 3 need to perform M different random phase modulations, and M measurements of an imaging region are completed, where the measurement times M are equal to the number of pixels included in the imaging region.
Defining the i-th phase modulation unit coordinate on the emission-type active frequency selective surface as r in the imaging processi(xi,yi,zi) The j th phase modulation element on the receiving type active frequency selection surface has the coordinate rj(xj,yij,zj) For the sake of calculation convenience, the imaging plane is divided into N 'meshes, wherein the coordinates of the k-th mesh are defined as r'k(xk,yk,zk). Without loss of generality, the field of the transmission antenna impinging on the i-th phase modulation unit on the emitting active frequency selective surface is defined as Einc(ri) For the m-th modulation, regardless of mutual coupling between phase modulation units, the field passing through the jth phase modulation unit of the receiving-type active frequency selective surface and subjected to two random phase modulations can be expressed as:
wherein
And
the random phase controlled by binary data of the ith phase modulation unit of the transmitting active frequency selection surface and the jth phase modulation unit of the receiving active frequency selection surface is taken as
Or
SRO(rj,r′k) Representing the transmission coefficient between the kth grid of the imaging area and the jth phase modulation unit of the receiving active frequency selective surface, and, for the same reason, SOT(r′k,ri) Representing the transmission coefficient, f (r'k) And representing the surface reflectivity of the kth grid, wherein the field subjected to the random phase modulation twice is finally received by the receiving antenna and enters a radio frequency transceiving system to be divided by a transmitting signal, so that a measurement of the transmission scattering coefficient S21 is obtained.
For all M measurements, the resulting imaging model is:
g＝Hf
where g denotes a measurement matrix of size M × 1, H denotes a perception matrix of size M × N ', where the (M, k) th element of the H matrix corresponds to S21 measured when a point scatterer is present only at the k-th pixel point within the imaging region at the M-th measurement, and f denotes a scattering property distribution within the imaging region of size N' × 1. The direct solution of the above-mentioned relation is a general method based on random beam imaging, and the imaging principle is to invert the scattering characteristic distribution in the imaging region based on the relation, i.e. f, and the commonly used algorithms include a least square method, a matched filter method, pseudo-inversion, a two-step iterative shrinkage threshold algorithm (TwIST), and the like.
The H matrix is required to be obtained in advance by using the imaging model, a common method is to measure or calculate the transmission scattering coefficient at each pixel point in an imaging area point by using a near field scanning or point scatterer calibration method, however, the size of the H matrix is correspondingly increased along with the increase of the size of the imaging area, and the time for calibration measurement, the time for inversion calculation and the storage requirement are rapidly increased. Therefore, in order to avoid calculation of the H matrix and directly apply the imaging algorithm to the measurement matrix g, the invention combines a deep learning method to complete calibration measurement.
The method for realizing the calibration measurement of the system comprises the following steps:
s1, firstly, placing a target to be imaged with known scattering property distribution in an imaging area, performing M times of different random phase modulation on electromagnetic waves passing through the target by an emission type active frequency selection surface and a receiving type active frequency selection surface, correspondingly measuring by a radio frequency transceiver system to obtain M transmission scattering parameters S21, and forming an Mx 1 reference measurement matrix by all M transmission scattering parameters S21;
