Figule 3.1: Raclar' L¡earn geometry.<br />

In orcler to overcorne the antenna size 1>roblern, synthetic apertule raclal<br />

(<strong>SAR</strong>) was cleveloped. Il <strong>SAR</strong>, finer resolution in range dimension is achieved<br />

by pulse cornpressiol teclinique. Unlike the real apelture raclal case, the azimuth<br />

lesolution of <strong>SAR</strong>, holeveL, is deterrnined by signal processing thlough<br />

the Doppler shift analysis. The synthetic alray signal processing ploceclules<br />

can plocluce highel resolution images with a stalclarcl antenna. Therefore,<br />

techniques irnproving the azimuth resolution has l¡ecome the center of inter'-<br />

est ill <strong>SAR</strong> signal processilg, Ploblerns lelatecl to the azimuth lesolutior are<br />

to be examined in the rest of the chapter.<br />

The azilnuth resolution of a real apertule radal, Ar,o,, is in propoltion<br />

to the antenna illurnination width, ancl it is fi'om Eq.(3.3)<br />

There ale two approaches for <strong>SAR</strong> data plocessing techniques: one is zr¿-<br />

focused, t ecb:nique, ancl the other is /oczsed technique. The focused technique<br />

is commonly adopted toclay il <strong>SAR</strong> processing. The unfocusecl techniclue is<br />
