Abstract: High transmit-receive isolation between any two adjacent elements in sequentially switched linear arrays guarantees the performance of high-resolution close-range imaging. However, the transmit-receive antenna spacing required in wavelength order makes its isolation deteriorated rapidly in the millimeter wave and higher frequency bands. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method to improve transmit-receive isolation by a switch sequence adjustment on the traditional linear arrays. The new switch-mode aims to simply increase the vertical spacing between each transmit-receive pair. To maintain the densely uniform-spatial effective sampling and Fourier transform-based image reconstruction, the principle of equivalent phase center is utilized to analyze the maximum of the possible vertical spacing of each transmit-receive pair is four wavelengths. Experiments verify that the method can efficiently improve transmit-receive isolation by up to 11.5 dB and guarantee the high performance of MMW imaging.
