Near fields, unencumbered by the restrictions imposed by diffraction limits, can be leveraged in high-resolution sub-wavelength imaging systems [1]. Utilizing the near-fields generated by arrays of mmWave and THz resonators can be a compelling candidate for realizing such systems. On the one hand, by increasing the frequency of operation, the resonators’ physical footprint shrinks, enhancing the imaging resolution. On the other hand, their highly localized and easily perturbable EM-fields and narrow-band nature can potentially bring about high SNR detection and characterization of samples as small as single cells [2]. These potentials, however, have never been simultaneously realized due to reasons such as: 1) The challenges in the generation and the detection of mmWave and THz signals have limited previous efforts to a single-source and/or single-detector per pixel architectures [1-4], wherein the imaging
