Abstract

In this paper the recent results of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) experiments conducted at the Warsaw University of Technology are presented. In the experiments an SAR radar was mounted on a lightweight airborne platform. The main goal of this experiment was to verify the possibility of obtaining high quality SAR image using navigation data from a low-cost Inertial Navigation System (INS) and classical commercial Global Positioning System (GPS).
