Justification of the Concept of a High-Resolution Radar with A Sparse Antenna System

Abstract

The development of space technology necessitates the development of systems to detect various objects in outer space, such as asteroids, debris, other spacecraft and/or celestial bodies.

The paper presents the effect of counter waves, based on which a hypothesis is put forward for the development of a high-resolution radar system with a sparse antenna system.

For the presented high-resolution radar concept, image reconstructions of a satellite located at a distance of 500 and 1000 km are obtained by simulation modelling. The simulation results indicate the possibility of quantitative analysis of space object parameters.
