Interferometry is used for bathymetric mapping with side scan and synthetic aperture sonars. The principle is based on estimating the time difference between arrivals for two vertically displaced receivers. An important additional feature with interferometric sonar is that an estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio can be derived from the coherence between overlaid data series from the two receiv...

In multi-circular synthetic aperture radar (MCSAR) mode, resolution and sidelobes are two important parameters to consider when representing imaging quality, as in other SAR imaging modes. In this paper, three-dimensional (3-D) resolution and cone-shaped sidelobes of MCSAR are analyzed for a point target in the scene center under the Nyquist sampling criterion. The results of the analysis show ...

There is an inherent trade-off between transverse resolution and depth of field (DOF) in optical coherence tomography (OCT) which becomes a limiting factor for certain applications. Multifocal OCT and interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM) each provide a distinct solution to the trade-off through modification to the experiment or via post-processing, respectively. In this paper, w...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a coherent active microwave imaging method. In remote sensing it is used for mapping the scattering properties of the Earth’s surface in the respective wavelength domain. Many physical and geometric parameters of the imaged scene contribute to the grey value of a SAR image pixel. Scene inversion suffers from this high ambiguity and requires SAR data taken at di...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is an active remote sensing technique that typically utilises satellite data to quantify Earth surface and structural deformation. Drone InSAR should provide improved spatial-temporal resolutions operational flexibility. This necessitates the development of custom hardware for drone deployment, including antennas transmission reception microwave ...
