The invention relates to a detection device, comprising a parabolic mirror (1) and several radiation detectors (2-5). The detectors are placed in the focal plane (O, X'-X, Y'-Y) of the mirror with respective spacings in a common fixed direction (Y'-Y). The detection device further comprises a select
The invention relates to a detection device, comprising a parabolic mirror (1) and several radiation detectors (2-5). The detectors are placed in the focal plane (O, X'-X, Y'-Y) of the mirror with respective spacings in a common fixed direction (Y'-Y). The detection device further comprises a selector system, connected to each of the detectors (2-5), embodied to successively select each of the detectors and to transmit a received signal from the selected detector. The separations of the detectors (d2-d5) are selected such that a gain diagram, for the reception of said device, has a gain minimum, between two successive gain maxima, each corresponding respectively to one of the detectors, of less than 3.0 dB less than said gain maxima. Such a device permits a sweeping of a zone with several adjacent sub-sweeps from a machine overflying said zone.

The invention claimed is: 1. A detection device comprising a parabolic mirror and several radiation detectors placed in a focal plane of said mirror, said focal plane being substantially perpendicular to an axis of the mirror and containing a focus of the mirror, the detectors being positioned with respective offsets along a determined common direction parallel to the focal plane of the mirror, the detection device furthermore comprising a selection system connected to each of the detectors and devised so as to successively select just one ofthe detectors and to transmit a reception signal originating from the selected detector, the respective offsets of the detectors in the focal plane of the mirror being chosen so that a reception gain diagram of said device exhibits, between two successive gain maxima in said diagram and corresponding respectively to one of the detectors, a gain minimum of less than 3.0 dB below each of said gain maxima. 2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the respective offsets of the detectors in the focal plane of the mirror are chosen so that the gain minimum, situated between two successive gain maxima in said diagram and corresponding respectively to one of the detectors, is less than 1.5 dB below each of said gain maxima. 3. The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least four or five detectors. 4. The device as claimed claim 1, wherein the detectors are disposed in an aligned manner in the focal plane of the mirror. 5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the selection system is adapted for selecting the detectors in a cyclic manner. 6. The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the selection system is adapted furthermore for selecting the detectors in an increasing or decreasing order of the respective offsets of the detectors. 7. The device as claimed in claim 1, adapted to operate for radar; each detector being adapted to operate for emission or reception of radiation, and the selection system being devised so as to furthermore transmit an emission signal to the selected detector. 8. The device as claimed in claim 7, adapted to operate for synthetized aperture radar. 9. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the selection system comprises several branches each connected to an input and to an output of the selection system, each detector being connected to one of the branches, wherein each branch comprises selectors disposed at nodes of said branch, each selector being devised so as to reproduce an emission signal intended for one of the detector on an output of said selector, selected as a function of an emission selection signal transmitted on a control input of said selector, then so as to reproduce a reception signal originating from said detector and transmitted on an input of said selector, selected as a function of a reception selection signal transmitted on the control input of said selector. 10. The use of a detection device as claimed in claim 1 on board a machine for overflying a geographical zone wherein the detection is effected. 11. The use as claimed in claim 10, wherein the detection device is oriented so that the direction of offset of the detectors in the focal plane of the parabolic mirror is substantially perpendicular to a direction of displacement of the machine.
