Passive multifrequency microwave sensors frequently struggle with difficulties of nonuniform spatial resolution among multiple channels. The raw measurements in the land-sea transition zone are seriously contaminated. Conventional analytical deconvolution techniques suffer from the tradeoff between spatial resolution enhancement and noise amplification, leading to low data integrity in the practical spatial resolution matching application. To provide multichannel microwave radiometer (MWR) data with matching levels of spatial resolution, a method based on iterative deconvolution with close loop priors (ICLP) is proposed. Specifically, a destriping module is first utilized as a preprocessing step to maintain high data integrity. Then, the close loop mechanism using sparse adaptive priors is proposed to balance the spatial resolution and data integrity enhancement. Also, progressively iterative deconvolution is introduced to realize controllable levels of spatial resolution enhancement (spatial resolution matching) for multichannel data to reach a consistent level. Experiments performed using both simulated and actual microwave radiation imager (MWRI) data demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the method. ...

The terahertz frequency modulation continuous-wave (THz FMCW) imaging technology has been widely used in non-destructive testing applications. However, THz FMCW real-aperture radar usually has a small depth of field and poor lateral resolution, thus restricting the high-precision imaging application. This paper proposes a 150-220 GHz FMCW Bessel beam imaging system, effectively doubling the depth of field and unifying the lateral resolution compared to the Gaussian beam quasi-optical system. Moreover, a THz image restoration algorithm based on local gradients and convolution kernel priors is proposed to eliminate further the convolution effect introduced by the Bessel beam, thereby enhancing the lateral resolution to 2 mm. It effectively improves the image under-restoration or over-restoration caused by the mismatch between the ideal and actual point spread function. The imaging results of the resolution test target and semiconductor device verify the advantages of the proposed system and algorithm. ...
