Abstract :
The Geostationary Atmospheric Sounder (GAS) is a new instrument, a sparse and rotating Y-shaped array, being developed for forecasting of weather. This paper presents a possible synthesis technique for its lay-out design. After a brief review of the instrument and of the corresponding design constraints, as well as of the synthesis procedure, examples are shown and discussed.
