  • Abstract
    A near field application of multistatic 2D sparse arrays designed based on an effective aperture concept is presented. Several test arrays which utilize this concept are introduced along with simulation and measurement results for near field operation at 100 GHz. High reduction in the needed number of transmit and receive modules is verified along with the drawbacks in the image quality. Good agreement between measurements and simulations is demonstrated.
