Abstract 

Active millimeter wave images typically exhibit characteristic speckle noise, due to the coherence of artificial millimeter wave sources. In this paper we will study the Hadamard speckle contrast reduction (SCR) technique, which has been successfully used in laser projection systems, in the context of millimeter wave imaging. We will show the impact of Hadamard matrix order and pattern size, linked to image and pattern resolution on speckle reduction efficiency. Practical limitations of Hadamard pattern implementations and their effect on speckle reduction efficiency will also be discussed.
