Les systèmes d’imagerie microonde suscitent un grand intérêt actuellement dans le domaine de la recherche, notamment pour des applications de sécurité (scanners corporels, vision à travers les murs, etc). Plusieurs techniques d’acquisition déjà existantes permettent d’optimiser l’ouverture rayonnante afin de garantir une bonne résolution sur l’image finale. Cependant, le verrou actuel des systèmes d’imagerie est de pouvoir atteindre un temps de rafraîchissement temps réel et d’adresser un grand nombre d’antennes. La majorité des systèmes actuels peinent à concilier la rapidité et la résolution, tout en garantissant une bonne sensibilité. Les travaux réalisés dans ce manuscrit visent à proposer une alternative aux systèmes existants en se basant sur des techniques de codage analogique des signaux d’antennes. Globalement, l’objectif est de minimiser le nombre de récepteurs sans affecter les performances. Les architectures proposées sont essentiellement basées sur le concept du Radar MIMO (pour les systèmes actifs) et du radiomètre à synthèse d’ouverture interférométrique ou SAIR (pour les systèmes passifs). Ces deux systèmes permettent de réduire considérablement le nombre d’antennes sans affecter la résolution de l’image, ce qui permet une première levée de contraintes. En sus, des composants compressifs entièrement passifs sont utilisés pour réduire le nombre de récepteurs des systèmes Radar MIMO et SAIR. Ces composants à diversité spatiale et fréquentielle présentent des fonctions de transfert orthogonales. Utilisés en émission, ils permettent un adressage simultané et indépendant des antennes du réseau. En réception, ils permettent de coder les signaux reçus par les antennes vers un nombre de voies RF considérablement réduit. En appliquant des techniques de décodage appropriées, les signaux reçus par chacune des antennes peuvent être estimées afin d’appliquer les algorithmes dédiés à la reconstruction de l’image. Ces composants offrent l’avantage de réduire fortement le nombre de voies RF tout en conservant la même ouverture rayonnante et en autorisant une acquisition simultanée des signaux. Des démonstrateurs laboratoires ont été réalisés en bande S afin de montrer une preuve de faisabilité des alternatives proposées. Enfin, les résultats obtenus ont fait l'objet d'une demande de brevet et un prototype d'imageur radiométrique à ondes millimétriques est en cours de prototypage dans le cadre du projet ANR-PIXEL. / Microwave imaging systems are currently attracting great attention in the field of research, especially for security applications (body scanners, vision through walls, etc.). Several acquisition techniques already exist to optimize the antenna aperture in order to guarantee a good resolution on the final image. However, the current lock of imaging systems is to be able to achieve a real-time acquisition and address numerous antennas. Most of the current systems struggle to reconcile fast imaging and resolution while ensuring good sensitivity. The work carried out in this manuscript aims at proposing an alternative to the existing systems based on analog coding techniques of the antenna signals. Overall, the goal is to minimize the number of receivers without affecting performances. The proposed architectures are based essentially on the concept of the MIMO radar (for active systems) and the Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radiometer or SAIR (for passive systems). These two systems allow a significant reduction of the number of antennas without affecting the resolution of the image, thus enabling a first lifting of constraints. In addition, passive compressive components are used to reduce the number of receivers in the MIMO Radar and the SAIR systems. These components with spatial and frequency diversity exhibit orthogonal transfer functions. Used in transmission, they allow simultaneous and independent addressing of each element of the antenna array. In reception, they allow the signals received by the antennas to be coded into a considerably reduced number of aggregate waveforms. By applying suitable decoding techniques, the signals received by each antenna can be estimated in order to apply imaging algorithms. These components offer the advantage of greatly reducing the number of RF channels while keeping the same number of antennas and allowing simultaneous acquisition of the signals. Laboratory demonstrators were carried out in S-band to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed alternatives. Finally, the results obtained were the subject of a patent application and a prototype of a millimeter-wave radiometric imager is being developed in the framework of the ANR-PIXEL project.
