A gamma ray telescope is being developed to operate is the energy range 100 keV to 5 MeV utilizing coded aperture imaging. The design incorporates a mask pattern based on a Uniformly Redundant Array (URA), which has been shown to have ideal imaging characteristics. A mask-anti-mask procedure is used to eliminate the effects of any possible systematic variations is detector background rates. The detector array is composed of 35 elements of the high-Z material Bismuth Germanate (BGD). Results of laboratory testing of the imaging properties will be presented.
