SAR Program Implementing the Range-Doppler Algorithm

Resource Overview

A MATLAB-based SAR program implementing the Range-Doppler algorithm with range cell migration correction and other essential operations for synthetic aperture radar image processing.

Detailed Documentation

This SAR program, developed using MATLAB, implements the Range-Doppler (RD) algorithm and incorporates critical operations such as range cell migration correction (RCMC). The implementation performs matched filtering in both range and azimuth dimensions to achieve precise radar image reconstruction. Key functions include data preprocessing, range compression using FFT-based convolution, and azimuth processing with Doppler parameter estimation. The program enables comprehensive processing and analysis of synthetic aperture radar imagery, delivering improved accuracy and enhanced functionality. It specifically addresses range cell migration correction through interpolation techniques or frequency-domain phase adjustments, significantly improving image quality and resolution. Additional capabilities include raw data formatting, calibration processing, and interactive image visualization tools to meet diverse user requirements. The modular code structure allows for easy integration of custom processing blocks and parameter adjustments. Whether for scientific research or practical applications, this SAR program provides robust support with its optimized algorithm implementation and comprehensive processing chain.
