Abstract
In this paper we present a novel RF photonic approach to radar scanning and imaging. The operating principle is based upon a system in which several (in our case two) radiating microwave sources generate and project at far field, a moving grating pattern over an object, e.g. by linearly modifying the relative phase between the microwave sources. Capturing a set of such integrated reflections (we work only with a mono detector) coming from the object at different radio frequencies (due to a simultaneously performed spectral scanning) can spatially reconstruct high resolution image of the object despite the fact that the sensing was performed with a small mono receiving antenna.
