Abstract: A hybrid image gathering and data transmission system is provided. The system includes at least one parabolic reflector to gather, disseminate and direct electromagnetic radiation. A beam splitter using Fresnel Zone Plate Array (FZPA) is configured and arranged to receive and or transmit the electromagnetic radiation from or to the at least one parabolic reflector and separately focus microwave radiation and visual radiation. The beam splitter provides a gain in the microwave radiation and visual radiation. A Radio Frequency (RF) receiver/transmitter receives and transmits the microwave radiation from or to the beam splitter and a Focal Plane Array (FPA) receives the visible radiation from the beam splitter. A processor is in communication with the RF receiver and the FPA. The processor processes signals received by the RF receiver and the FPA and provide processed data to be transmitted to a remote location.
