Summary

Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing simply and methodically presents principles and techniques of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image generation by analyzing its system transfer function. It considers the full array of operation modes from strip to scan and emphasizes processing techniques, thus enabling the design of operational SAR codes. Valuable to all SAR scientists and engineers working in the field, this book contains a wide spectrum of information presented with clarity and rigor and will serve well both as the basis for a course on SAR image generation and as a reference book on remote sensing.
