Abstract

This invention relates to a focused synthetic array wherein a different signal from a crossed beam antenna is converted to a bipolar video signal and applied as the input to a synthetic array processor. In another embodiment of the invention there is a separate reduction of each beam output from a crossed beam antenna to bipolar video signals with a separate application of asymmetrical amplitude weights to the two bipolar video records and a subsequent subtraction in the course of synthetic array processing.
