Abstract

The Sub-Y-type array is proposed to decrease the number of antennas keeping same resolution or to use same number of antennas in order to have a narrow 3dB beamwidth. When the sub-Y-type array is des igned with 136 antennas for comparison with MIRAS, the reduction rate is theoretically 30 %. The proposed ideas are evaluated by experimental interferometric radiometer at 37 GHz.
