Principles of Synthetic Aperture Radar ImagingA System Simulation Approach\nAuthor(s): Kun-Shan Chen\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9781466593145, 978-1466593145\nSynopsis\nPrinciples of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: A System Simulation Approach demonstrates the use of image simulation for SAR. It covers the various applications of SAR (including feature extraction, target classification, and change detection), provides a complete understanding of SAR principles, and illustrates the complete chain of a SAR operation. \n\nThe book places special emphasis on a ground-based SAR, but also explains space and air-borne systems. It contains chapters on signal speckle, radar-signal models, sensor-trajectory models, SAR-image focusing, platform-motion compensation, and microwave-scattering from random media. \n\nWhile discussing SAR image focusing and motion compensation, it presents processing algorithms and applica.
