Versatile measurement system for imaging setups prototyping

An XYZ scanner and its potential capabilities for different types of electromagnetic imaging setups is described in this contribution. To illustrate the operation of the system, two different imaging techniques and setups are presented as examples. A phaseless measurement setup implemented at the Ku band, and a measurement setup based on amplitude and phase acquisitions for the W band.
