Problems solved by technology

[0014] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the polarized microwave thermoacoustic imaging device and method provided by the present invention solve the difficulty of accurately imaging some details when traditional microwave thermoacoustic imaging technology is directly used to image small and complex objects. The disadvantage of reconstruction is that in the imaging process, using polarization control technology, for each small imaging area or several pixel areas, only the image with the polarization direction at the maximum signal is selected, thus providing a fast, lossless and the imaging results are close to the real method; this invention can not only perform non-destructive imaging on tiny structures, but also provide an effective means for observing the field amplitude and direction information distribution of the microwave field, so as to achieve the visualization effect of the energy field of electromagnetic waves. Contribute to the direct observation of the electromagnetic field polarization direction and electric field strength in the field of microwave detection
