Title: Wavefront curvature limitations and compensation to polar format processing for synthetic aperture radar images.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/902879· OSTI ID:902879

Limitations on focused scene size for the Polar Format Algorithm (PFA) for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation are derived. A post processing filtering technique for compensating the spatially variant blurring in the image is examined. Modifications to this technique to enhance its robustness are proposed.
