Abstract
In a radar system, the antenna part of the system is used not only for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic energy, but also as a spatial sampler of impinging wavefronts on the antenna aperture. Relevant information about the number, the directions, and the signal intensities of sources (i.e., targets in the case of an active radar or emitters in the case of a passive radar) may be extracted by properly processing the spatial samples of the impinging wave-fronts incident on the receiving antenna aperture.
