The phase gradient autofocus algorithm: An optimal estimator of the phase derivative
The phase gradient algorithm represents a powerful new signal processing technique with applications to aperture synthesis imaging. These include, for example, synthetic aperture radar phase correction and stellar image reconstruction. The algorithm combines redundant information present in the data to arrive at an estimate of the phase derivative. In this report, we show that the estimator is in fact a linear, minimum variance estimator of the phase derivative. 7 refs.
