Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Radar: Concepts and Practice | 1 Edition

Details about Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Radar: Concepts and Practice:

Explore the principles and applications of synthetic aperture radar This comprehensive guide offers a solid grounding in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) fundamentals and techniques. Written by a remote sensing and signal processing expert, Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Radar: Concepts and Practice clearly explains data collection, image formation, error correction, and image quality. You will get concise descriptions of commonly used image formation algorithms, including the Range-Doppler Algorithm (RDA) and the Polar Formatting Algorithm (PFA). Continuous wave LFM systems, interferometry, polarimetry, and moving objects are discussed in detail. Coverage includes: Origins of synthetic aperture radar Ranging and imaging Image formation and image processing tools Linear frequency-modulated chirp Image formation algorithms for quadrature demodulated data Image formation algorithms for dechirped data Autofocus Image quality and speckle reduction Linear frequency-modulated continuous wave systems Remote sensing Interferometry Moving objects in SAR
