Abstract

A Terahertz scanning imaging device for imaging objects where the object is larger than the object to imager distance. The imager comprises scanning elements, sensors, and an image processor. The scanning elements are used to direct radiation to the sensors. Multiple scanning elements and sensors may be used, each scanning a portion of the field of view. The image processor, in communication with the sensors, generates a consolidated 2-dimensional image of a field of view.
