Abstract
A full-range imaging method doubles imaging range of conventional techniques by removing mirror images of an imaged object that limit conventional images to a 'half-range' and that are caused in part by the loss of phase information in a detected signal. Phase information of the detected signal is reconstructed with an averaging technique based on a modulated phase induced in the detected signal during scanning.
