Multibeam antenna for the matrix radiometric imaging systems

Abstract

Ways of practical implementation of matrix radiometric systems (multibeam antennas and multichannel radiometric receivers), located onboard of various purpose aircrafts, intended for creation of images of ground-based objects have been substantiated. It is shown that formation of two-dimensional images for a short exposure time is possible both owing to application of the matrix radiometric information sensors, as well as on the basis of multi-channel radiometric sensors with the channels multiplexing according to the form of signals using the Walsh function.
