Precise Geometry Simulation of Interferometric SAR Signal for Air- and Spaceborne Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complete interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) simulator has been developed. It achieves precise results by using geodetic models to represent the Earth’s shape, and considering SAR effects such as range migration, Doppler shifts, or perturbations of movement in the airborne case, which are included via the inverse Extended Chirp Scaling Algorithm (ECSA).

Very High Resolution Parametric and Non- Parametric Sartomography Methods for Monitoring Urban Areas Structures
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the only way to evaluate deformation of the Earth’s surface from space on the order of centimeters and millimeters due to its coherent nature and short wavelengths. Hence, by this means the long term risk monitoring and security are performed as precisely as possible. Traditional SAR imaging delivers a projection of the 3-D object to the two dimensional (2-D) a...
متن کاملExtended chirp scaling algorithm for air- and spaceborne SAR data processing in stripmap and ScanSAR imaging modes
AbstructThis paper presents a generalized formulation of the extended chirp scaling (ECS) approach for high precision processing of airand spaceborne SAR data. Based on the original chirp scaling function, the ECS algorithm incorporates a new azimuth scaling function and a subaperture approach, which allow an effective phase-preserving processing of ScanSAR data without interpolation for azimut...
متن کاملSimultaneous generation and registration of SAR images
Registration of SAR images is required for interferometric processing and multitemporal analysis. A procedure which allows simultaneous generation and registration of SAR images from spaceborne sensors is presented. The procedure is based on the properties of the chirp scaling algorithm and is used in a interferometric processor to generate the interferogram, the fringes and the coherence map.
