Abstract
The totally passive object identification system and method involves the use of a radiometer to produce a signal corresponding to the radiation pattern generated by an object of interest in the frequency band to which the radiometer is sensitive, and involves comparing the produced signal with a signal corresponding to a given class of objects. The comparator produces a signal indicative of correspondence or a lack of correspondence between the object of interest and the given class of objects.
