    Abstract

    Due to extensive electromagnetic radiation or interference, the rapid detection and location of electromagnetic interference sources in a large space has become a hot issue to be studied urgently. Electromagnetic imaging technology can visually display the location of radiation sources and solve the problem of rapid detection and localization of electromagnetic interference sources. However, the existing reflector electromagnetic imaging system is bulky and cannot meet the requirements of airborne, vehicle-mounted, UAV and other application platforms. To address this issue, this paper studies the structure and imaging characteristics of Luneburg lens, designs a large field-of-view Luneburg lens electromagnetic imaging (EMI) system, and realizes rapid identification and location of EMI with the advantages of large field of view, wide bandwidth and high resolution. In this paper, the parameters of the 300 mm Luneburg lens with spherical core are calculated, the E-field intensity distribution of the 4~18GHz is simulated, and the space invariant imaging characteristics of Luneburg lens and its super-resolution algorithm are verified. The paper finally compares the volume, field of view, source number and resolution of the parabolic reflector electromagnetic imaging system and the Luneburg lens electromagnetic imaging system. The results demonstrate the superiority of the system proposed in this paper, achieving a large field of view with azimuth and elevation angles of 40° at the same resolution.
