This is the earliest paper disclOSing the concept. The first flight test was in 1952 in an Air Force program called Alran, in which an L-band radar with a dipole antenna demonstrated a2? azimuth beamwidth. The nextyearagroupfrom the Control Systems Laboratory of the University of Illinois produced X-band maps on the Florida Keys with SAR processing.
