New antenna technology could enhance remote sensing resolution

universetoday.com

Researchers at Leidos have developed a new remote sensing technology called Rotary-Motion Extended Array Synthesis (R-MXAS), which combines a rotating antenna with a flat sparse array to enhance effective aperture size. This innovation could improve soil moisture monitoring from geostationary orbit, achieving 35 km resolution continuously and potentially increasing it to 5-10 km. R-MXAS has received two NASA grants and a technical award.
