The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), on board the Seasat-A satellite, provides an all-weather imaging capability which should prove useful in a number of remote sensing applications.

We consider imaging strategies for synthetic aperture radar data collections that span a wide angular aperture. Most traditional radar imaging techniques are predicated on the assumption of isotropic point scattering mechanisms, which does not hold for wide apertures. We investigate point scattering center images for narrowband, wide angle data, and consider the effect of limited persistence on...

Next-generation interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) systems may provide the basis for establishing an earthquake-forecasting capability within a twenty-year time frame. Such systems would need to provide data with fine temporal resolution, so the system architecture would need to allow for wide-area coverage in order to minimize the effective interferometric repeat time. This paper...

Airborne Radar Simulation, in the present context, is the real-time generation of radar displays and other radar outputs, such as data exchanges with the flight computer or other avionics subsystems, consistent with the actual radar and in response to the interaction with the operator, ownship, targets, and the environment. The primary application is flight simulators for man-in-the-loop traini...

An improved range-Doppler algorithm (RDA) is proposed to reconstruct images from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data received at high squint angles. At a higher squint angle, a larger synthetic aperture is required to receive sufficient amount of data for image reconstruction, and the range migration also becomes more serious, which demands more computational load and larger memory size. The pr...

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. ...
