Abstract :
Mirrored interferometric aperture synthesis (MIAS) can reduce the complexity of large IAS systems. In this paper, UV sampling, spatial resolution, sensitivity, and image reconstruction of 1-D MIAS are analyzed, which are not addressed before. Numerical simulation and experiments are carried out to illustrate the performances of MIAS. The results demonstrate the validity of MIAS and the improvement of spatial resolution.
