Abstract
Imaging processing is the prominent technical characteristics and core content of synthetic aperture radar. Since 1970s, during more than 30 years’ development a number of imaging algorithms for Spotlight synthetic aperture radar have emerged in succession. For example: Polar format algorithm (PFA), the range migration algorithms (RMA), Chirp Scaling algorithm (CSA), extended CSA algorithm (ECSA), frequency Scaling algorithm (FSA), the two-step algorithm (TSP) and so on. This chapter covers detailed theory, signal modeling and computational processes of various algorithms, as well as special problems of imaging algorithms.
