Many methods have been developed for detecting concealed weapons and explosives on the human body. In this important new book, the authors discuss their experiences over the last decade designing and testing microwave and millimetre wave detection and screening systems. It includes examples of actual devices that they have built and tested, along with test results that were obtained in realistic scenarios.\n\nThe book focuses on the development of non-imaging detection systems, which are similar to radar. These systems do not form a conventional image of the sce.
