Abstract

A project to design and construct an airborne 8mm band 2- Dimensional (2D) aperture synthesis radiometer BHU-2D was launched in the Electromagnetics Laboratory of BeiHang University (BHU). BHU-2D consists of 48 antenna/receiver elements, an FPGA-based 1bit/2levels digital cross-correlation subsystem, and a calibration subsystem. A ground based laboratory prototype of BHU- 2D has been completed, which consists of 10 antenna elements arrayed in a T- shape configuration, 10 receivers, and a digital correlation and data processing subsystem. The testing and imaging experiments have been carried out. Initial results are successful; the images of some scenes and the person indoors are obtained. The instrument overview, calibration method, and preliminary imaging results of the prototype are presented in this paper.
