Abstract
Uniformly redundant arrays are used in coded-aperture imaging, a technique for forming images
without mirrors or lenses. This technique is especially important for the high energy x-ray
and y-ray region above 20 keV. In this technique, a mask consisting of opaque (closed) and transparent
(open) areas is placed between the photon sources to be imaged and a position sensitive
detector or a detector array. Each source casts a shadow pattern of the mask or aperture onto the
detector. This shadow pattern may be viewed as an encoded signal for that source direction. If
each possible source code is unique, the detected composite of overlapping shadow patterns may
be decoded to produce an image of the source distribution.
