Abstract

Along with the development of SAR technique, imaging function cannot satisfy the requirement of the application of SAR systems in military and civil areas. Multi-function has become an important tendency of SAR. In this chapter, the development of SAR systems, GMTI and GMTIm algorithms are introduced, and the structure of this book is shown.
