Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a computed tomography apparatus, comprising: a first semiconductor device with a first radar transceiver IC, a second semiconductor device with a second radar transceiver IC, and at least one third semiconductor device with a third radar transceiver IC, which are arranged at different positions around a tomographical measurement region; a synchronization circuit, which is designed to provide a synchronization signal in order to operate the first, second and third radar transceiver IC as synchronized transmitters and receivers using the synchronization signal; and an evaluation circuit, which is designed to ascertain at least one characteristic of a medium located in the measurement region based on time-of-flight measurements of radar signals received from at least two receivers.
