Frame-based Real-time SAR Imaging with Squint Compensation

Abstract

This paper presents the X-band SAR imaging system developed at Prince Sultan Defense Studies and Research Center (PSDSARC) in collaboration with MetaSensing BV. A unique approach considering frame-based imaging for squinted SAR system has been developed based on Global Back-Projection (GBP) algorithm. The flight campaign for SAR data collection took place over the Chiesa di San Gregorio in Rome-Italy during November, 2021. The developed approach has been validated through the SAR image reconstruction from collected experimental data.
