Performance Investigation on the High-Resolution Wide-Swath SAR System with Monostatic Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The High-Resolution Wide-Swath (HRWS) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system, promoted by EADS Astrium GmbH, has been object in the last years of intensive studies for his capability to overcome the conflict between azimuth resolution and swath width of conventional SAR. The original choice of a bistatic solution for the system architecture has been recently reconsidered and is currently oriented towards a monostatic approach. The paper reports a performance analysis on the HRWS SAR system with monostatic architecture.

Sustained high-resolution imaging for wide swath area is getting emergence. However, conventional airborne and spaceborne SAR can hardly achieve them simultaneously. Near-space technology draws much attention in this aspect. Current researches of near-space SAR focus on fast platform which encounters contradiction between azimuth high resolution and range wide swath. To solve it and achieve sus...
متن کاملUltra-Wide Swath SAR Imaging with Continuous PRF Variation
Innovative multi-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) concepts enable high-resolution wide-swath imaging, but the antenna length typically restricts the achievable swath width. This limitation can be overcome by a novel technique which is based on a single azimuth channel but operates the system with a continuously varied pulse repetition frequency (PRF) by this allowing in principle for arbi...
