Abstract :
A polarization sensitive millimeter-wave sensor operating at 77 GHz is built and characterized. The sensor is scalable to a distributed aperture architecture and results are presented from using multiple antennas. Imagery is also presented from a 30-element distributed aperture system that is only sensitive to one polarization.
