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 five years, progress has been made in the following areas: understanding of the unique advantages of large, self-cohering arrays; development of advanced system concepts, including the airborne radio camera; enhanced self-cohering capability and experimental demonstration of that capability; and development of techniques for improving microwave image quality, including handling of the high sidelobes associated with very sparse arrays. A number of other practical issues associated with large self-cohering arrays have also been examined.
