Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention allow for radar imaging that is not range dependent for resolution. Arrays of cells comprised of antennas and true delays can be placed behind the target. The signal reflected by the individual cells provides information on whether the cell is blocked by the target. Additional information can be determined from the radar returns, such as material properties and target thickness. Similar structures can be constructed to act as wireless barcodes.
