Large Aperture Scanner
The Large Aperture Scanner (LAS) scans a radar transceiver over a 5 meter by 20 meter aperture. Image reconstruction techniques enable a three-dimensional holographic image of objects in front of the scan aperture to be formed from data collected by the radar transceiver.
Specifications/Capabilities
Transceiver: 200 MHz to 4.6 GHz
Scanner: 5 meters horizontally; 20 meters vertically
Scientific Opportunities/Applications
Imaging through building material
Concealed object imaging/detection
The LAS is used to conduct research in the STG through-barrier imaging laboratory and is also transportable for offsite/field testing
