This book began with a determination to present SAR concepts and signal processing techniques unique to spotlight mode and the polar format algorithm. The existing database of technical articles and books on SAR would serve as a background and starting point, allowing the text to concentrate on practical procedures and advanced analyses in the implementation and evaluation of spotlight SAR image formation processing. As often happens, the fleshing out of the details changed and enlarged the scope of the presentation. The authors believe that the final product, with its broader scope, provides detailed insight into spotlight mode, its applications, and its processing algorithms. Booknews Presents SAR concepts and signal processing techniques unique to spotlight mode and the polar format algorithm, concentrating on practical procedures and advanced analyses in the implementation and evaluation of spotlight SAR image formation processing. Although the concentration is on the polar format algorithm, individual chapters are devoted to the range migration algorithm and the chirp scaling algorithm, with an appendix on the tomographic back-projection algorithm. Actual SAR images reinforce the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Contents: Synthetic Aperture Radar Fundamentals. Spotlight SAR and Polar Format Algorithm. Digital Polar Format Processing. Phase Errors. Autofocus Techniques. Processor Design Examples. SAR System Performance. Spotlight Processing Applications. Range Migration Algorithm. Chirp Scaling Algorithm. Comparison of Image Formation Algorithms. Appendices.
