Signal processing techniques for ultrawideband synthetic aperture radar data

The reader will find this paper is organized into three complementary sections. First, we define the research objectives U.S. Army Research Laboratory and other defense organizations share. We then report in detail on the signal processing/image formation techniques developed as part of our mission program. We conclude with a discussion on the use of these algorithms and tools with the emerging data from major defense-wide collections. Imaging concepts are discussed and various quality metrics are provided.
