Abstract
The embodiment relates to a system for capturing an image includes at least one RF transmitter configured to transmit at least one RF signal; an array of RF detectors; a metal parabolic reflector located prior to the array of RF detectors, wherein the parabolic reflector is configured to focus reflected RF radiation to the array of RF detectors; one or more acoustic detectors; and a readout circuit and a processor circuit configured to operate the at least one RF transmitter to transmit the RF signal, receive a detected RF signal and detected acoustic signal from the readout circuit and reconstruct an image corresponding to the RF signal detected by the array of RF detectors.
