High-performance spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) requires measurement of the radars motion during the synthetic aperture. A convenient coordinate frame for motion measurement is often not the convenient coordinate frame for motion compensation during the SAR data generation and image formation processing. A convenient frame for radar motion measurement is the Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) coordinate frame, whereas spotlight SAR processing typically require s polar coordinates from a selected Scene Reference Point (SRP). This report presents the conversion from ECEF coordinates to appropriate parameters for SAR processing.
