3-dimensional object reconstruction from frequency diverse RF systems

Abstract

Conventional phased arrays operate on narrow bandwidth principles to achieve resolution in imaging of buildings and other objects of interest. Unfortunately, such narrow bandwidth methods to not allow sufficient resolution to reconstruct objects of interest in 3 dimensions at low frequencies and with small apertures. We propose a method that is computationally efficient and allows dynamic use of spectrum to achieve high resolution 3 dimensional reconstruction of objects from small or distributed apertures. This method also allows available spectrum bands to be used on a non-interference basis.
