ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for producing an image of a target area, by: at an observation location spaced from the target area, transmitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation toward the target area, and receiving reflections of the radiation from the target area; providing a representation of the magnitude and direction of the distance between points on the target area which produce reflections that travel in phase to the observation location; varying the spatial relation between the observation location and the target area and/or the given radiation frequency, in order to establish a plurality of different observation states which succeed one another in time, each state being associated with a distinct combination of magnitude and direction of the distance between points on the target area which produce reflections that travel in phase to the observation location; producing two coherent radiation beams, directing the two beams onto a receiving plane provided with an array of radiation receiving cells and storing output signals from each receiving cell, and controlling the two beams, for each observation state in succession, such that the two collimated beams have: beam axes which are inclined relative to one another by an angle corresponding in magnitude and direction to the magnitude and direction representations; a phase difference corresponding to the phase difference between the transmitted and received radiation; and intensities such that the product of the intensities of the two beams corresponds to the intensity product of the transmitted and received radiation.
