Ultra-high resolution (0.05m) SAR image formation processing

With the continuous improvement of the SAR resolution, image formation signal processing becomes a challenging problem. In this paper, image formation signal processing including image formation algorithm, motion compensation and autofocus are discussed. Processing results of real data collected by an ultra-high resolution SAR are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
