Clutter analysis of high resolution millimeter-wave SAR-data in the spatial and wavelet domain

Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of high resolution millimeter SAR clutter data, measured in a joint Swiss-German flight campaign. The generalized Gaussian function and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test are considered to test the hypothesis of Gaussian clutter process. 35 GHz and 94 GHz data are compared. The results are presented in the time and wavelet domain, as the wavelet domain is an import transform domain for the development of terrain classification, target recognition and data compression algorithms.
