Scientific paper

An aperture is synthesized by combining separate optical systems to function as a single large aperture. Specifically, a synthetic aperture is a phased array of independent optical systems which together form a common image field with a resolution which exceeds that produced by any single element. Attention is given to the pupil function which describes the phase and amplitude variations across a synthetic aperture, the diffracting screen, far field irradiance, a synthetic aperture formed by six identical circular elements, techniques for achieving and maintaining matched optical paths, and examples of astronomical synthetic apertures.
