RADAR Imaging – A Mathematical Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we explain with simple geometric arguments the appearance of diffraction hyperbolas in RADAR images. Moreover, we outline an inversion formula from integral geometry, which is derived using only elementary properties of the Fourier transform, to reconstruct the refractive index of a medium from RADAR data. The theoretical results of this paper are supported by real data from an industrial project.

Chirp-Scaling based True Amplitude Imaging for Synthetic Aperture Radar
The Chirp-Scaling Algorithm (CSA) is one of the most widely used synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image reconstruction method. However, its applicability is limited to straight flight trajectories and monostatic SAR. We present a new mathematical treatment of the CSA from the perspective of Fourier Integral Operators theory. Our treatment leads to a chirp-scaling-based true amplitude imaging algo...
متن کاملA Null-Steering Viewpoint of Interferometric SAR Rgc~l
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) extends the two-dimensional imaging capability of traditional synthetic aperture radar to three-dimensions by using an aperture in the elevation plane to estimate the 3-D structure of the target. The operation of this additional aperture can be viewed from a null-steering point of view, rather than the traditional phase determination point of vie...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
متن کاملAtmospheric radar imaging using multiple-receiver and multiple-frequency techniques
Atmospheric radar imaging techniques have shown promise in revealing the fine-scale structure of the atmosphere within the resolution volume of the radar. Enhanced resolution can be obtained in both angle and range by using spaced receivers and shifted frequencies, respectively. The distinct techniques have been termed coherent radar imaging (CRI) for angular resolution enhancement and range im...
متن کاملRegion-Enhanced Passive Radar Imaging
We adapt and apply a recently-developed region-enhanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image reconstruction technique to the problem of passive radar imaging. One goal in passive radar imaging is to form images of aircraft using signals transmitted by commercial radio and television stations that are reflected from the objects of interest. This involves reconstructing an image from sparse sampl...
