ABSTRACT:
A radiometer imaging system includes an antenna array having a plurality of sub-arrays, each being formed of a plurality of antenna elements arranged in a sub-Y-type, a receiver array having the same number of receivers as the antenna elements, each receiver being associated with one of the antenna elements in a one-to-one correspondence to thereby define a channel to generate a first signal and a second signal from an output of each antenna element, and a correlation processor for calculating a correlation for each correlated channel pair, by using the first signal and the second signal for each antenna element, to thereby obtain an 3-D image for the object.
