SAR-MTI processing of multi-channel airborne radar measurement (MCARM) data

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of developing signal processing, moving target detection, and image formation algorithms, for an airborne array radar system, called Multi-Channel Airborne Radar Measurement (MCARM), developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory at Rome, New York. Our approach is based on interpreting the MCARM data via a multichannel SAR system. SAR imaging and blind calibration of a dual along-track SAR-MTI system are then used for the MCARM data.
