Patent ID: 8184044

Claim:
A super-resolution imaging radar (SRIR), the SRIR comprising: a pulse signal generator, wherein the pulse signal generator propagates N number of bursts of radio frequency (RF) energy, wherein each burst contains M number of dithered pulses, wherein the pulses are propagated towards an object of interest and an ancilla beam detector; an array bucket detector, wherein the array bucket detector collects pulses that are reflected from the object; the ancilla beam detector, wherein the ancilla beam detector scans in a direction of the dithered pulses and collects the dithered pulses; and a coincidence circuit, wherein the coincidence circuit calculates a cross-time correlation function from the pulses that are collected by the array bucket detector and the ancilla beam detector, and wherein the coincidence circuit sums cross-time correlation function results to generate pixels of an image of the object.
