Abstract:
Several issues makes the processing of ultra wide band (UWB) SAR data acquired from an airborne platform difficult. The character of UWB data invalidates many of the usual SAR batch processing techniques, leading to the application of wavenumber domain type processors...This paper will suggest and evaluate an algorithm which combines a wavenumber domain processing algorithm with a motion compensation procedure which enables motion compensation to be applied as a function of target range and the azimuth angle.
