| Summary: | This contribution presents a novel, computationally efficient approach to radar imaging of layered dielectrics with sparse MIMO arrays. Our concept does not impose any constraints on the array topology and at the same time promises to be more efficient than the state-of-the-art backprojection algorithm because it can make use of <italic>k</italic>-space reconstruction schemes. Experimental results with a sparse, non-equidistantly sampled array are provided. These demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and that the computational burden could be reduced by several orders of magnitude in a given practical example related to radar based non-destructive testing. |
