Summary:The present invention relates to a high efficient searching apparatus or processing technique using a combination of X ray signal and millimeter wave signal, which allows a practical and effective method for searching human body to be conducted in air ports or harbors. The apparatus according to the invention comprises an X ray signal emitter 1 including an electronic element 2 producing X ray signal; an X ray signal detector 4 for receiving an X ray signal; a millimeter wave emitter 5 provided in a millimeter wave transceiver and including an electronic element 6 for producing millimeter wave; a millimeter wave detector 7 for receiving millimeter wave; an image processor 8 for deducing image of an object from the received X ray and millimeter wave signals; a comparator 10 for comparing the deduced image with the corresponding data from the image data base for objects 9 already input; and a display 11 for displaying the image deduced from the image processor 8 and for giving an alarm, as required. The apparatus has such an improved resolving power as to reveal any hidden product on human body and has an operating characteristic stable to environmental disturbance so as to minimize the error rate for the transmission of radio signal, with the result that the reliability of the apparatus is remarkably improved.
