Abstract :
Expressions describing the correspondence between moving-target artifacts for synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) and compact radar range (CRR) emulations are developed. Experimental results are then presented to verify the accuracy of these equations and to characterize the capacity of CRRs to emulate translating, vibrating, and rotating targets. We show that phase-compensation techniques can be applied to CRR data, providing a suitable test bed for SAR phase-compensation techniques.
