MOSAIC RADAR STUDY PROGRAM.
Abstract
The design of a radically new type of missle borne radar system, called a mosaic radar, which will be superior to existing scanning radar systems in information gathering the data proc essing is presented. The mosaic radar is a fixed, multibeam, Luneberg lens antenna with 76 C-band feed elements in an array on the back sur face of the lens. The angular position and dimensions of the array are equal to but dia metrically opposite the sector of space from which it receives energy. The design of the antenna will give the mosaic radar simultaneous and continuous reception of energy from a wide field of view. An investigation of the electro- gnetic properties of the antenna and methods for extracting the energy from it is reported. (Author)
