The coherently radiating periodic
structures (CORPS) uses the existing
mutual coupling between the elements
of an array to spread horizontally and
coherently (in-phase) the complex
amplitudes of each active element of the
array. Despite the elements of the array
were not too directive, the corporative
behavior of all them, radiating
coherently the same information,
provides high directive beams arising
from each array element, being possible
narrow distances between beams.
This concept applied to imaging
systems, based on periodic disposition
of low-profile radiating elements, could
offer high resolution images in the range
of microwaves and millimeter waves.
