Advanced Concepts for Ultra-Wide-Swath SAR Imaging

This paper reviews advanced multi-channel SAR system concepts for the imaging of ultra-wide swaths with high azimuth resolution. Novel system architectures and operational modes are introduced and compared to each other with regard to their performance.
