Focusing of static and moving targets in real flight conditions using SAR technique

Synthetic aperture radar is a very popular and widely used instrument for various remote sensing tasks. One of the most challenging problems is to obtain high-quality images in the case of unstable flight conditions. In the paper the problem of full platform motion compensation is discussed. A particular attention is given to the analysis of moving targets. Algorithm for estimation of moving target parameters is developed. Experimental results with real data are illustrated.
