Implementation of ground-based SAR demonstrator system for digital beam forming

In this paper, the ground-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for digital beam forming (DBF) is introduced. Multi channel SAR system is paid attention as a future SAR system with low cost, high flexibility and wide coverage with high azimuth resolution. The DBF algorithm for multi channel SAR can be evaluated using the suggested demonstrator. We present the concept of the measurement and the specific considerations for implementation of this system.
