Abstract
We consider the application of a spotlight-mode synthetic aperture rad ar (SAR) imaging technique to the problem of high-resolution lunar ima ging and other related radar astronomy problems. This approach offers improved image quality, compared with conventional processing, at the expense of slightly increased computational effort. Results of the pro cessing of lunar data acquired with the 12.6 cm wavelength radar syste m at Arecibo Observatory are presented, and compared with the best ava ilable published result, by Stacy, which uses focusing techniques from stripmap SAR.
