  • Abstract
    To focus synthetic aperture radar data suffering from phase errors, a novel autofocus algorithm is presented. The algorithm uses the coordinate descent technique to estimate the phase errors for maximum sharpness autofocus, where analytical-form expressions are easy to find for the optimal estimates on a per-parameter basis. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed algorithm.
