G. Franceschetti et al., EFFICIENT AND HIGH-PRECISION SPACE-VARIANT PROCESSING OF SAR DATA, IEEE transactions on aerospace and electronic systems, 31(1), 1995, pp. 227-237
We investigate the space-variance of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR
) transfer function, due to focus depth variation and Earth rotation e
ffect. We introduce a procedure for efficient space-variance compensat
ion which is based on the use of a nonstandard Fourier transform (FT).
A number of experiments confirming theoretical results are presented.
