In this paper, we propose a fast and low-cost cylindrical microwave imaging system based on the use of arrays of transmitter and receiver antennas and a customized low-cost data acquisition circuit using off-the-shelf components. The complex-valued scattered data captured with the proposed system is processed using near-field holographic image reconstruction. To enhance this technique, standardized minimum norm (SMN) approach is employed to solve the relevant systems of equations. The performance of the proposed imaging technique and the data acquisition system is demonstrated via simulations and experiments.
