... At lower temperatures, the maximum emission shifts into the millimeter and submillimeter range. While passive millimeter wave imaging systems have been under investigation and development for over a decade, no such system has yet achieved widespread adoption in the United States.1 A new approach of the terahertz sensing for the detection of concealed objects is represented by the passive detection implemented in the ThruVision TS4.C and ThruVision TS5.C machines from Digital Barriers, LLC.
From page 159...
... ThruVision TS5.C detects large objects at distances between 6 and 15 m. Both machines use 0.25 THz sensing arrays with output for closed-circuit television color camera with the frame rate of 6 Hz.2 Figure D.3 shows the installation schematic, and Figure D.4 shows an example.
