Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BISTATIC SAR DATA PROCESSING ALGORITHMS Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is critical for remote sensing. It works day and night, in good weather or bad. Bistatic SAR is a new kind of SAR system, where the transmitter and receiver are placed on two separate platforms. Bistatic SAR is one of the most important trends in SAR development, as the technology renders SAR more flexible and safer when used in military environments. Imaging is one of the most difficult and important aspects of bistatic SAR data processing. Although traditional SAR signal processing is fully developed, bistatic SAR has a more complex system structure, so signal processing is more challenging. Focusing on imaging aspects of bistatic SAR signal processing, this book covers resolution analysis, echo generation methods, imaging algorithms, imaging parameter estimation, and motion compensation methods. Gives a general and updated framework for image formation using signal processing aspects Starts with an introduction to traditional SAR before moving on to more advanced topics Offers readers a range of exhaustive tools to process signals and form images Provides a solid reference for the imaging of other complicated SAR MATLAB® codes are available from the book’s companion site The book is ideal for researchers and engineers in SAR signal and data processing, as well as those working in bistatic and multistatic radar imaging, and in the radar sciences. Graduate students with a background in radar who are interested in bistatic and multistatic radar will find this book a helpful reference.

Book Signal Processing Strategies for Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar

Download or read book Signal Processing Strategies for Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar written by Brian D. Rigling and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Recent developments in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology are spurring new interest in the fields of bistatic and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR). This dissertation develops the theory necessary to extract useful information from bistatic and multistatic SAR phase history data. The approach taken in this work involves generalization of several existing monostatic SAR signal processing algorithms. A model for bistatic SAR data collection is introduced, and based on this model, a maximum likelihood algorithm for nonparametric scene reconstruction, or image formation, is proposed. This method is commonly known as matched filtering. By deriving a bistatic far-field assumption, the matched filtering algorithm may be approximated by a bistatic formulation of the common polar format algorithm. The polar format algorithm has complexity O(N2 log2 N), versus the O(N4) complexity of the matched filtering algorithm. The effect of platform motion measurement errors on bistatic SAR imagery are examined. Requirements on inertial navigation accuracy are derived, and it is shown that autofocus algorithms for monostatic SAR may applied to properly formatted bistatic SAR data. Design of nonlinear receiver flight paths, with the goal of preserving and reconstructing three-dimensional scene information, is considered. Parametric models for the three-dimensional bistatic responses from canonical scattering centers are proposed and validated against high-frequency simulation results. Lastly, algorithms for three-dimensional surface reconstruction from multistatic SAR data are proposed, based on existing theory for monostatic stereo SAR and interferometric processing. A theoretical framework for predicting the performance of these algorithms is suggested.

Book Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Data Processing and Analysis

Download or read book Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Data Processing and Analysis written by Alvin Soonlien Goh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) operation in a bistatic configuration offers various advantages over its now well-established monostatic counterpart but also poses various challenges, among which are the inversion of the raw bistatic SAR data into imagery, the maintenance of time and phase synchronisation between the separated transmitter and receiver, the application of interferometric techniques to bistatic data, and the polarimetric calibration of field-based bistatic systems in constant motion (particularly those with airborne/spaceborne components). As part of a research programme into the potential benefits and challenges of bistatic SAR, the Ingara fully polarimetric X-band airborne imaging radar system, developed and operated by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation, was upgraded to conduct experimental SAR data collections in a bistatic geometry. Experimental trials of the new bistatic SAR system were conducted in 2007 and 2008 in which the existing airborne radar was operated in a fine-resolution (600 MHz bandwidth) circular spotlight-SAR mode, in conjunction with a newly developed fully polarimetric stationary ground-based bistatic receiver. These trials produced a set of fully polarimetric simultaneously collected monostatic and bistatic SAR data, collected over a wide range of bistatic angles, for research purposes. The work reported in this thesis is motivated by the various processing challenges presented by these data sets. Herein, image formation from raw spotlight-mode bistatic SAR data using the Polar Format Algorithm (PFA), particularly as it pertains to a circling-transmitter-stationary-receiver bistatic geometry, is discussed. The limitations of the first-order (plane-wave) phase approximation employed in deriving the PFA are examined for the case of a stationary-receiver bistatic collection geometry with co-planar transmitter, receiver and scatterers: expressions for the size of the focussed region are derived by restricting the magnitude of the second order phase term, and the complicated behaviour of the shape of this region in this bistatic case (which is not encountered in the monostatic case) is discussed. Fine-resolution imagery results from the PFA-based processing of simultaneously collected monostatic and bistatic data sets are shown, and results from the interferometric processing of single-pass simultaneously collected monostatic and bistatic SAR data with a relatively large (approx. 5°) grazing-angle difference and of repeat-pass bistatic data with a temporal delay of hours, both demonstrating interferometric coherence in the fine-resolution interferograms, are presented. Finally, the polarimetric calibration of a field-based bistatic SAR with an airborne component is addressed: minor variants of three previously published distributed-target-based polarimetric calibration algorithms are derived; the results of Monte Carlo numerical studies to compare their accuracies are discussed; a new calibration approach involving a hybrid of two of these algorithms which takes account of channel noise is proposed; the use of standard calibration targets (dihedrals, trihedrals etc.) potentially supplemented by the direct-path signal for polarimetric calibration is considered; and calibration results from the Ingara data are presented.

Book Bistatic SAR Polar Format Image Formation

Download or read book Bistatic SAR Polar Format Image Formation written by Davin Mao and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The polar format algorithm (PFA) for bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation offers the compromise between image quality and computational complexity afforded by PFA, while enabling the geometric flexibility of a bistatic collection scenario. The use of the far-field approximation (FFA), which enables the use of the two-dimensional (2D) fast Fourier transform (FFT) in PFA, introduces spatially-varying distortion and defocus effects causing geometric warping and blurring in the resulting image. In this thesis, the residual phase errors due to the FFA are analyzed by decomposing the residual phase errors in the time dimension into their constant, linear, and quadratic Taylor series components. Based on the analysis, a 2D interpolation-based distortion correction technique is developed, and accurate scene size limits are derived for the corrected image to mitigate the effects of defocus. The phase error analysis is conducted with respect to arbitrary transmitter and receiver trajectories, and examples are demonstrated for both the ideal linear and ideal circular flight geometries using a point target scene simulation.
