Development of Signal Processing Algorithms for High Resolution Airborne Millimeter Wave FMCW SAR
conference paper
For airborne earth observation applications, there is a special interest in lightweight, cost effective, imaging sensors of high resolution. The combination of Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques can lead to such a sensor. In this paper, a developed algorithm for SAR imaging that takes into account the special characteristics of FMCW signals is presented. Constrains for the validity of the stop and go approximation are shown. A demonstrator system has been built at Delft University of Technology and some results from the last airborne campaign are presented.
