Abstract :
The locator (tomograph) with super-scanning phased array antenna has the following basic unique possibilities: optimal energy distribution and resolving power in the surveyed space redistribution; reception of contour object´s images in the far (Fraunhofer) zone with linear resolution independent of distance; super-resolution of objects in a group within visibility layers due to intentional increase of interval between reflected signals; increase of potential of the locator due to redistribution of the energy in the survey zone. It is shown that the locator with super scanning phased array antenna can be adaptive. This possibility can decrease vastly the total energy radiated into the atmosphere, in comparison with existing radars and lidars, i.e., can decrease the warming of the atmosphere
