Authored by engineers for engineers, this book is designed to be a practical and easy-to-understand solution sourcebook for real-world high-resolution and spot-light SAR image processing. Widely-used algorithms are presented for both system errors and propagation phenomena as well as numerous formerly-classified image examples. As well as providing the details of digital processor implementation, the text presents the polar format algorithm and two modern algorithms for spot-light image formation processing - the range migration algorithm and the chirp scaling algorithm.
