Abstract:
The mirror reflection synthetic aperture imaging is a method to achieve synthetic aperture imaging through incoherent detection, using power detection to obtain the cosine visibility function, and then obtaining the bright temperature image of the target scene through the inversion algorithm. In this paper, the near-field imaging and imaging resolution of mirror reflection synthetic aperture imaging are theoretically studied, and the theoretical analysis results are experimentally verified by point source imaging experiments, the imaging angles measured in the experiment are 16. 07 °, 18. 48 °, 23. 73 ° and 27. 47 °, respectively, with corresponding imaging resolutions of 0. 95 °, 0. 98 °, 1. 00 °, and 1. 04 °, the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis results, which shows the effectiveness and superiority of mirror reflection synthetic aperture imaging technology in the field of near-field imaging.
