Different from the traditional direct current radiometric imaging, an alternating current (AC) radiometer was presented to be passive millimeter‐wave imaging with simple and integrated structure for the purpose of security inspection in China. The AC radiometer image interpretation has its own characteristic. The imaging results of 3‐mm waveband AC radiometer show that it can obtain concealed objects characteristic and can be used to inspect the passenger for antiterrorism. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
