A method to generate several phase centres on a single parabolic reflector antenna fed by a digital beamforming array is presented. Among other applications, along-track SAR interferometry at higher frequencies, as for example, in the Ka-band, is considered. Flexibility in size, position and amount of phase centres is similar as for a setup using a direct radiating array.
