The applications and future of synthetic impulse and aperture radar

The Synthetic Impulse and Aperture Radar (SIAR), which is a typical Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar with orthogonal frequency waveforms, has the advantages of more degrees of freedom, higher angular resolution and target detection probability than traditional phased array radar. In this paper, a brief introduction of the basic features and the advantages of SIAR is given first. Then two applications used in high frequency surface wave and microwave band are presented with some real data results. Finally, we discuss the possible applications and its future.
