High Resolution Simulation Of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging, Cindy G. Romero Jun 2010

High Resolution Simulation Of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging, Cindy G. Romero

Master's Theses

The goal of this Master’s thesis is to develop a more realistic simulation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) that has the ability to image detailed targets, and that can be used for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR). This thesis project is part of ongoing SAR ATR research at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) sponsored by Raytheon Space & Airborne Systems and supervised by Dr. John Saghri.

SAR is a form of radar that takes advantage of the forward motion of an antenna mounted on a moving platform (such as an airplane or spacecraft) to synthetically produce the effect of a …
