3-D radar imaging using extended 2-D range migration technique

A three dimensional (3-D) imaging system is implemented by employing 2-D range migration algorithm (RMA) for frequency modulated continuous wave synthetic aperture radar (FMCW-SAR). The backscattered data of a 1-D synthetic aperture at specific altitudes are coherently integrated to form 2-D images. These 2-D images at different altitudes are stitched vertically to form a 3-D image. Numerical simulation for near-field scenario are also presented to validate the proposed algorithm.
