Title:

TERAHERTZ IMAGING IN REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION MODE FOR LUGGAGE AND PERSONNEL INSPECTION

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2005119214

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

A system to detect contraband article, like explosives or chemical weapons in packages, laggage or clothing includes one or more terahertz modules. Each module either generates or receives, or both generates and receives, terahertz radiation.
