Abstract

A detection device for detecting an OUD (Object Under Detection) includes a transceiver, a first antenna element, and a second antenna element. The transceiver has a transmitter port and a receiver port. The first antenna element is coupled to the transmitter port of the transceiver. The second antenna element is coupled to the receiver port of the transceiver. The transceiver transmits an electromagnetic signal through the first antenna element to the OUD, and then receives a reflective signal through the second antenna element from the OUD. The electromagnetic signal has a first polarization direction, and the reflective signal has a second polarization direction.
