Single-frequency near-field MIMO imaging

A near-field radar imaging technique is presented based on single-frequency measurements from a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array. Such arrays are able to fully sample the κ-space of a region of interest. Advantageously, both range and cross-range information can be reconstructed, in contrast to conventional single-input multiple-output systems which require wideband frequency illumination. A theory of single frequency MIMO imaging is developed and studied through numerical modeling and experimental validation.
