ELVA-1 proposes a project on the design of a passive millimeter wave imaging system (also called "mm-wave camera"). Unlike prototypes proposed by other companies, ELVA-1 camera is equipped with white noise mm-wavelength light sources of ELVA-1 proprietary design. The additional illumination is intended to boost up the quality of obtained images and significantly shorter time is required to create the image. Therefore, it makes the time shorter for checking of each individual compared to other existing camera prototypes. The light noise sources have output power comparable with the power of usual mobile phones to be safe enough for use in public areas with no health risks. The contrasts in mm-wave reflection from objects can be captured in images providing a visual representation of a human body and concealed objects if any of them exist under the clothes.
