We report on construction and evaluation of a moving wirelessly-controlled thermal phantom for testing cameras working in the terahertz range (0.1-3.0THz). A terahertz camera operating at 0.25 THz and a standard thermal camera were used for tests. We compared the images taken for the phantom and a man and we obtained satisfactory similarities both for naked as well as dressed objects with hidden items (guns, knives, bombs). The temperature stability of the phantom is also sufficient for evaluation of the cameras.

Przedstawiono konstrukcję i badania ruchomego zdalnie sterowanego fantomu termalnego człowieka opracowanego do testów kamer terahercowych (0,1-3,0THz). Do testów użyto kamery terahercowej pracującej w zakresie 0,25THz i kamery termalnej. Uzyskano bardzo dobre podobieństwo pomiędzy obrazami w zakresie THz dla człowieka oraz fantomu oraz satysfakcjonującą stabilność termalną fantomu.
