[0003] The present disclosure relates generally to radar systems and, more particularly, to correcting errors in Synthetic Aperture Radar ("SAR") data. Background technique
[0004] Radar has long been used for military and non-military purposes in a variety of applications such as imaging, navigation, remote sensing, and global positioning. A synthetic aperture radar ("SAR") is a primary coherent aerial or satellite side-viewing radar system ("SLAR") that utilizes the flight path of a mobile platform (i.e., a vehicle such as an aircraft or satellite) on which the SAR is located to detect Electronically simulate extremely large antennas or apertures and generate high-resolution remote sensing images. In particular, SAR is used fo...
