High-Resolution Wide-Swath Synthetic Aperture Radar for Land Imaging

Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging of ground surface is of great importance in many civilian and military fields and, especially in the field of earth remote sensing. SAR images are subjected to subsequent data processing techniques for the purpose of the target detection and classification required in many applications. For the researcher working in the field of SAR image processing, the demand for a variety of images for various types of ground surface and under different climate conditions is an essential requirement. Real SAR images that satisfy such research requirements may not be available for most of the researchers. The solution is to obtain such images by SAR simulators, which are capable of generating realistic images for a specific area of the land if the geometrical and physical models ar
