Backprojection Analysis of MIMO SAR
نویسنده
چکیده
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques have brought significant advances to wireless communications. In recent years, researchers have sought to bring similar advances to radar using MIMO. One specific area that has received relatively little attention is MIMO synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The advantages that MIMO might provide to SAR are not well represented in literature. This paper discusses the motivation for MIMO SAR and derives MIMO signal correlation in order to determine what imaging geometries are required for MIMO SAR.

SAR image formation toolbox for MATLAB
While many synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation techniques exist, two of the most intuitive methods for implementation by SAR novices are the matched filter and backprojection algorithms. The matched filter and (non-optimized) backprojection algorithms are undeniably computationally complex. However, the backprojection algorithm may be successfully employed for many SAR research endea...
متن کاملA New Factorized Backprojection Algorithm for Stripmap Synthetic Aperture Radar
Factorized backprojection is a processing algorithm for reconstructing images from data collected by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Factorized backprojection requires less computation than conventional time-domain backprojection with minimal loss in accuracy for straight-line motion. However, its implementation is not as straightforward as direct backprojection. This paper provides a n...

We introduce and discuss a parallel SAR backprojection algorithm using a Non-Uniform FFT (NUFFT) routine implemented on a GPU in CUDA language. The details of a convenient GPU implementation of the NUFFT-based SAR backprojection algorithm, amenable to further generalizations to a multi-GPU architecture, are also given. The performance of the approach is analyzed in terms of accuracy and computa...
متن کاملGPU Processing for UAS-Based LFM-CW Stripmap SAR
Unmanned air systems (UAS) provide an excellent platform for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enabling surveillance and research over areas too difficult, dangerous, or costly to reach using manned aircraft. However, the nimble nature of the small UAS makes them more susceptible to external forces, thus requiring significant motion compensation in order for SAR images to focus properly. SAR back...
متن کاملEvaluating the deformation monitoring capability of a ground based SAR system with MIMO antenna
By increasing the applicability of ground-based SAR (GBSAR) systems in geoscience and remote sensing, the development and evaluation of new systems have gained attention. GBSAR systems can be utilized for monitoring areas that are hard to or cannot be seen by the airborne or spaceborne systems. Furthermore, they have better spatial and temporal resolutions and are cost-effective and easy to imp...
