With one sparse array and three dense arrays a thinning rate of more than 80% is demonstrated. The high resolution and low spurious signal generation of the two-stage-correlator are further improved by applying DPP with a suitable weighting factor. The performance of this approach is demonstrated by both simulation and measurements.enConference Paper10.1109/EuRAD.2014.6991256Other
