Small satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become a new development direction of spaceborne SAR due to its advantages of flexible launch, short development cycle, and low cost. However, there are fewer researches on distributed small satellite multiple input multiple output (MIMO) SAR. This paper proposes an ultra-high resolution imaging method for the distributed small satellite spotlight MIMO-SAR, which applies the sub-aperture division technique and the sub-aperture image coherent fusion algorithm to MIMO-SAR. After deblurring the sub-aperture signal, the large bandwidth signal is obtained by using an improved time domain bandwidth synthesis (TBS) method, and then the ultra-high resolution image is obtained by using a sub-aperture image coherent fusion algorithm. Simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Many infectious diseases prevalent in the developing world, including malaria and tuberculosis, are difficult to diagnose on the basis of symptoms alone but can be accurately detected using microscope examination. Currently the expense, size, and fragility of optical microscopes impede their widespread use in resource-limited settings. Addressing these obstacles facing microscopy in the developing world is a pressing need; over 800,000 people, primarily children in Africa, die annually of malaria, and more than 1,500,000 people die annually of tuberculosis [1][2]. The aim of this study is to design and validate a microscope for use in the developing world that combines high-resolution imaging, extreme affordability, and long-term durability.
