Active imaging arrays are used to image scenes composed of reflectors of transmitted radiation, and in many such applications, line arrays are employed. In this paper, we discuss scanned active line arrays for imaging based on image synthesis. We define the novel concept of array redundancy for active arrays, analogous to the well-known concept of redundancy applied to passive arrays, and we define and give examples of minimum redundancy and reduced redundancy line arrays composed of transmit/receive elements. Such arrays differ from their passive imaging counterparts both in geometry and in element count.
