Abstract:
Center-Beam approximation is crucial for efficient 2-Dimensional (2-D) frequency-based airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) focusing with integrated motion compensation. In this work we present an analysis aimed at assessing the impact of this approximation on the final image accuracy.
