9. An alternative circular scanning will have a constant nonzero angle between the separated transmitter and receiver. However, it is clear that the zero or small angle scanning is preferable, because the backward scattering detection yields the longest path difference between adjacent points in the object and has the best signal separation between the incident wave and the scattered wave.
