Synthetic Aperture Techniques.
Abstract
The purpose of the program was to study aperture synthesis techniques as they apply to holographic underwater viewing systems. Included in this program was the experimental verification of a proposed aperture synthesis technique using sequential data acquisition. Also included was a study of methods for implementing parallel data acquisition, the output of which was a system configuration and parallel data acquisition technique recommended for the synthesis of a 96 x 96 array. The study showed that the implementation of the proposed synthetic aperture system would result in a considerable cost, power, and volumetric savings over a conventional array system. For parallel data acquisition the receive time must be increased to insure adequate data separation which in turn results in an increase in Doppler sensitivity, i.e., the amount of Doppler that a target can exhibit and still be imaged is reduced.
