Analysis of Reflector Sizes in Rotating Mirrored Aperture Synthesis Radiometers.

Rotating mirrored aperture synthesis (RMAS) has been proposed as a new method for high spatial resolution earth observation from the geostationary orbit. However, in previous researches, the reflector sizes are assumed to be infinite so that all antennas in the antenna array can receive the reflection signals. This assumption is obviously unacceptable in practical applications. How to estimate the...
