A novel approach to design the position of linear Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) array elements for short-range UWB imaging is proposed. The proposed method uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine the optimal MIMO antenna array topologies that can provide minimum entropy of the reconstructed image. According to the approach, a MIMO array is optimized with minimum entropy indicating high focusing quality.
