      RelationshipConclusion
      Δϕ=0 The optical axes are parallel to each other, and the total field of view of the system is close to the size of the field of view of a single aperture
      0<Δϕ<ω0The outer two fields of view of the three adjacent subeyes meet at infinity, and the detection range of the middle sub-eye and the adjacent sub-eyes completely overlap
      Δϕ=2ω0The edge field of view of adjacent subapertures is parallel, there is a gap at infinity, and there is a blind spot in the field of view
      Δϕ>2ω0The peripheral fields of view of adjacent sub-eyes do not overlap, so there must be a blind spot
