Ground moving target detection and estimation by using dual speed SAR platform

The paper proposes a ground moving target detection and estimation method aiming at Ultra Wide Band and -Beam (UWB) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems. The method is developed on the moving target detection by focusing technique and requires a SAR system flying with two different speeds during the integration time. The method allows us to detect ground moving target, even hidden by clutter, and to estimate the target parameters, i.e. speed and direction of motion. The accuracy of the estimations depends strongly on the computational cost and can therefore be controlled. The proposal is tested with the simulated CARABAS data.
