High Angular Resolution Microwave Sensing with Large, Sparse, Random Arrays

Abstract

This document describes progress toward development of a general capability for high resolution microwave surveillance and imaging using large, sparse, self-cohering arrays. During the last year progress has been made in the following areas: Assessment of the potential advantages of large self-cohering arrays, development of advanced system concepts (ground-based, airborne and spaced-based radio cameras), refinement of self-cohering techniques compatible with these system concepts, hardware testing of self-cohering techniques compatible with these system concepts, hardware testing of self-cohering techniques, and development of methods for enhancement of image quality associated with large sparse arrays.
