ABSTRACT:
A beamforming method and apparatus utilizing a plurality of sensing elements which are free to take up random positions. Each sensing element generates output signals in response to sensed radiation. The signals are fed to a data process or which generates Fourier frequency components of each output signal and selects a Fourier frequency component for each given radiation frequency to form a group of frequency components. The data processor performs a spatial convolution, interpolation and spatial Fourier transform followed by an averaging procedure in order to obtain an output signal which is indicative of the far field radiation power as a function of angle thus providing the desired beamforming information.
