..method and apparatus for determining at least one physical parameter of an object by means of transmitting microwaves towards an object and analysing the co-polar and cross-polar transmitted and reflected microwaves.

...
The apparatus includes a microwave radiation source 1, shown to the left of the coupler 2. In a preferred embodiment the microwave radiation source 1 is a swept source that sequentially transmits microwaves with a frequency which changes preferably linearly with time over a specified frequency bandwidth.

Explanation:
Nach der Funktionsbeschreibung würde ich die "swept source" als einen Frequenzgenerator verstehen, der die Signalfrequenz durch ein bestimmtes Band variiert - was in der Elektronik ein "Wobbler" ist. Ich weiß aber nicht, ob das auch für die Kohärenztomographie passt!

Wobbulator


Explanation:
According to the link:

Wobbulator
Ein Messsender, der ein Signal mit kontinuierlich veränderlicher Frequenz sendet, entweder zyklisch oder einmalig.

Used to do Hartmann & Braun translations and that is what they called a "sweep generator."
