| Description | The maximum size and resolution of receiving antenna arrays is found to be limited by signal-to-noise ratio considerations. For square arrays containing no active elements, a practical limit at 30 GHz appears to be on the order of 10 meters for communications and one to two meters for radiometry. These limitations can be overcome by use of active devices at various levels of the array organization. The nature of the resulting tradeoffs is indicated. Explicit formulas are developed for both passive and active arrays, and sample computations and the computer programs are given. |
