Abstract

An optical configuration design is presented for the ground testbed. The system includes three sub-telescopes as the collecting elements, and a combination telescope. The goal is to produce an image with a "quality" equivalent to a filled monolithic aperture. The system has a diffraction limited field-of-view of 0.1 degrees. The subsystem utilizes non-spherical primary and secondary mirrors. Also, several image restoration techniques are analyzed in details, which are applied to sparse-aperture imaging system in frequency domain. The performances of the restoration techniques are compared under different circumstances, such as the aperture configurations, the fill factors, and the level of noise. The correlation coefficient is proposed as a criterion to determine optimal parameter, and evaluate the performance of algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate its possibility. Some suggestions are given for better restoration resolution of sparse-aperture imaging system.
