Abstract
A system for providing high resolution imaging of objects having sub-millimeter dimensions comprised of at least one transmitter, at least one receiver, a coupling chamber, and a processor for recording attenuation and time of flight profiles of the transmitted signals. The signals are conditioned in a manner to provide high signal-to-noise ration (SNR) and minimal crosstalk and multipath effects at the receiver.
