Abstract :
The severe timeline demands imposed by the multi-mode functions of modern airborne radars utilizing active array antennas, may result in interrupted SAR data collections and consequent corrupted images. To recover the image quality, we interpolate the missing data using the Burg algorithm, allowing interrupt ratios of up to 30%
