Abstract
A system passively images a scene using an antenna for collecting electromagnetic energy from the scene and directing the electromagnetic energy toward a single pixel sensor. A spatial light modulator includes a flexible tape that supports a series of blocking patterns along its length. The tape moves through the electromagnetic energy in an exposure region as the energy travels from the antenna to the sensor and the tape moves on a transport path that is nonlinear outside of the exposure region. A processor captures a set of output values from the sensor to form an image of the scene based on the set of output values. Two blocking pattern structures, either rigid or flexible, can be superimposed in an exposure region between an antenna and a sensor.
