Data efficient implementation of UWBWA SAR algorithms

چکیده
It is shown that the particular form of the frequency support of raw data and focused imagery obtained from an ultra-wideband, wide beamwidth synthetic aperture radar system can be exploited in nonseparable sampling schemes to reduce the overall amount of raw data samples and image pixels that need to be stored and computed. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the constant integration angle backprojection (CIAB) image former implicitly applies a fan filter that interpolates raw data sampled on a quincunx grid back onto the underlying rectangular grid. This subtle property of the CIAB has not been exploited so far. It leads to higher quality images with less computational complexity.

Implementation of Fast Focusing Algorithm for Uwb Stepped- Frequency Gpr Sar Imaging
This paper discusses a fast and efficient focusing algorithm for ultra wideband (UWB) stepped-frequency continuouswave (SFCW) side-looking SAR image formation. Conventional SFCW SAR focusing algorithms are mostly based on the matched filter concept. Their frequency-domain implementation is burdensome. In this paper we present a more rapid and efficient algorithm for real-time and automatic UWB ...
متن کاملEfficient Time-Domain Focussing for General Bistatic SAR Con- figurations: Bistatic Fast Factorised Backprojection
Due to the lack of an appropriate symmetry in the acquisition geometry, generalised bistatic SAR cannot benefit from the two main properties of low-to-moderate resolution monostatic SAR: azimuth-invariance and topography-insensitivity. Precise accommodation of azimuth-variance and topography is a real challenge for efficent algorithms working in the Fourier-domain, but can be quite naturally ha...
