Satellite Target Signature Study Using Close Range Millimeter Wave Imaging Techniques
Abstract
An experimental design and test setup is described by which 94 GHz images of satellite type targets or portions thereof can be obtained at close range for the purpose of determining the effectiveness of millimeter wavelength range-doppler radar in space object imaging applications. The close range imaging technique uses two parabolic antennas which are both focused at short range on the same target element. These antennas are then mechanically rotated together as a unit so that the rf spot in the target plane is raster scanned over the target. The received signal versus scan position is used to display the target image. First results are expected at the end of 1973. (Author)
