Abstract :
Typical synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are two-dimensional, providing range and azimuth information, but furnish few details with respect to elevation. First of all, one approach to extend SAR to three-dimensional imaging is considered. The simplest implementation of this would replace the single antenna element by a linear array oriented vertically. Secondly, the outlining data and image processing for a three-dimensional application is introduced in detail in the paper. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective, while maintaining good image quality in terms of the reconstructed target response.
