1. A microwave imaging system for performing standoff microwave imaging, comprising:

  • an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements, each capable of being programmed with a respective direction coefficient to direct microwave illumination toward a target within a volume that includes a standoff region, said antenna elements being further capable of being programmed with a respective additional direction coefficient to receive reflected microwave illumination reflected from said target; and

    a processor operable to measure an intensity of said reflected microwave illumination to determine a value of a voxel within a microwave image of said volume, and wherein said processor is further operable to construct said microwave image with a resolution sufficient to identify objects within said standoff region.
