ABSTRACT:
A radiometer system is disclosed, the system incorporating a cylindrical parabolic reflector and a plurality of radiation sensors disposed along the focal line of the reflector in a minimum redundancy array. Digital processing circuitry is connected to the output of the sensors for digitally processing signals using a cross-correlation signal processing and fast Fourier transform circuitry to generate image signals, the system providing reduced weight and increased signal integration time. Several embodiments of the system are disclosed including analog and digital versions having a multiplicity of antenna configurations.
