  • Patent number: 4213131
    Abstract: An antenna array comprising at least three interferometer pairs of antenna elements with selected spacings made to form a single beam which is readily scannable. All spatial frequencies generated by a signal and intercepted by the array are derived from a signal processing technique applied to the array. The array samples space in the spatial frequency domain while the signal processing technique utilizes real time convolution of functions in the spectral frequency domain. Summation of the appropriate spatial frequencies is equivalent to a Fourier transform operation, yielding the location of the signal source in space. Resolution and freedom from interference of the interferometer system is equal to that of a fully filled array of the same aperture size containing element spacings of one-half wavelength.
