Wide Angle Sar Processors And Their Quality Assessment

-Precision processing of SAR data with a large slant range dimension require a focus adjustment in different regions of the image. In this paper three different algqrithms are briefly described; the last .procedure shows good focusing capabilities and is also very interesting from the computational point of view. Numerical experiments on simulated data are presented and a quantitative analysis on the point spread function is given.
