Beam- forming is envisaged to reduce the rate required for transporting data from groups of antennas to a central site for further processing. We propose a novel method for image reconstruction based on the iterative scanning of a region of interest, combined with randomized beamforming. A modified approximate message-passing algorithm is adopted to extract relevant image information from beamformed signals received at the antenna stations. The method is illustrated by simulations, with reference to the LOFAR radio interferometer, and compared with the CLEAN algorithm.Radio interferometryAMP Algorithmsensor arraystext::conference output::conference paper not in proceedings
