Image Generation Algorithms for FMCW-SAR at X-Band
نویسنده
چکیده
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) based on frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) transmission is a viable option for producing high resolution microwave imagery at low heights. In this paper, we show detailed analytical simulation for stripmap mode of FM-CW SAR imaging alongwith SAR images generated from actual airborne FM-CW radar video data collection. Key words—FM-CW, SAR, Range-Doppler, UAV

Focusing Bistatic FMCW SAR Signal by Range Migration Algorithm Based on Fresnel Approximation
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technique has recently been employed by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to decrease the radar cost and volume. However, the operation range is limited by the direct energy leakage from the transmitting channel to receiving channel due to the operation principle of FMCW technique. Bistatic configuration is an efficient way to increase the isolation betwe...

Bistatic frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mounts the radar transmitter and receiver on separate platforms, which offers considerable capabilities, reliability and flexibility in designing FMCW SAR missions. Moreover, the spatial separation achieves better isolation between transmission and reception channels compared with the monostatic FMCW SAR where th...
متن کاملFMICW TECNIQUES APPLIED TO A Ka BAND SAR ON BOARD UAV
This paper describes the waveform analysis for an experimental long-range (10 Km) high-resolution (1x1 m2) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor in the millimetre wave band on board UAV. Motivated by the need to minimize the transmitted power and the volume filled by the sensor, it is proposed the use of a FMICW (Frequency Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave) radar type. It also is provided a...
متن کاملA High-Resolution, Four-Band SAR Testbed with Real-Time Image Formation
This paper describes the Twin-Otter SAR Testbed developed at Sandia National Laboratories. This SAR is a flexible, adaptable testbed capable of operation on four frequency bands: Ka, Ku, X, and VHF/UHF bands. The SAR features real-time image formation at fine resolution in spotlight and stripmap modes. High-quality images are formed in real time using the overlapped subaperture (OSA) image-form...
