Abstract

This chapter provides an overview over common categories of microwave holography systems. Terms like resolution or speckle are defined and design rules are presented. Performance and cost of the various microwave holography systems are discussed as well as their applications. A special focus is devoted to indirect holographic systems at millimeter wave frequencies. A setup using arrays of planar antenna coupled zero bias Schottky diodes as detectors is presented in detail.
