Rotary array imaging system by means of Gabor´s Holography

In this article a rotary acquisition system for recovering images by means of Gabor´s Holography is presented. The rotation of the array decouples the polarization between its elements and the transmit antennas; this is resolved either by using circular polarized antennas or by measuring both H and V polarizations. A 16 element X-Band Imaging rotary array demonstrator is presented. Single receivers consist on a quasi-yagi antenna matched to a schottky diode detector. Firsts results of a recovered image are presented and shown to be in good agreement with simulation.
