Abstract :
This paper extends the results of the planar 4-element case in multiple interrogation of phase-conjugating arrays by demonstrating the expected higher resolution provided by an 8-element array, along with the desensitization of beam-pointing error due to phase imbalance between interrogators. This paper also adds a brief analysis to effectively characterize the PCA´s operation in multiple-interrogator environments.
