Abstract :
Two distinct types of multiple azimuth beam system are described. Both designs attempt to effect a decrease in operating PRF (pulse repetition frequency) whilst maintaining adequate sampling of target returns. The net result is that the unambiguous swath width is increased (roughly by the number of receive beams) whilst maintaining spatial resolution
