Abstract

This paper presents the current state and preliminary results of the Passive Advanced Unit Synthetic Aperture´s instrument (PAU-SA) validation tests. The performed test has been focused on the implementation of the PAU-SA´s interface in order to test extended source simulations. Moreover, the currently status of the hardware instrument is presented.
