- Abstract
The availability of an expediting back- projection (EBP) algorithm for circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR) imaging is investigated. EBP works by dividing the full aperture into sub-apertures, and using a unified polar grid to generate sub-images. On the basis of the correspondence between the wavenumber domain and the phase history domain, EBP combines all sub-aperture spectrums into a full-aperture one and reconstructs the CSAR image followed by a two-dimensional (2D) fast Fourier transform. Without time-consuming 2D interpolation, EBP is capable of decreasing the loss of spectrum, while improving significantly the computational efficiency compared with direct BP.
