Abstract

The envisioned Holography-based Phased-Array Antenna Imaging Systems will enhance radar sensor performance to an un-precedent new height. Typical applications range from concealed weapon detection to SAR imaging manipulation i.e. enhanced resolution and target tracking & identification. The Holography-based Phased-Array Antenna Imaging Systems is capable of extended and multiple field-of-view target perceptions; hence would result in substantial improvement in target classification. Since the target scattering profiles significantly depend on aspect angles and polarizations, the introduction of multiple polarizations would also increase the degrees of freedom in Holography-based Phased-Array Antenna Imaging Systems particularly in anti-jam capability of the systems.
