We present a novel non-iterative model based on ray analysis to characterize non-metallic, weak dielectric objects (like threat objects) on the surface of a highly conducting background (like the human body) using a focused continuous millimeter-wave sensor. For a simple constant thickness dielectric slab on a ground plane, there are five primary scattering phenomena that must be considered.
