  • 발행 : 2002.07.01

초록

It is an essential design process to analyze the performance of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processor before implementation. The contribution of this paper is to identify the chief sources and types of errors, to assess their impact on system performance, and to suggest the analysis technique for principal performance of the space-based SAR processor using Range-Doppler Algorithm (RDA). Also, simulation is performed by the Experimental-SAR (E-SAR) processor to examine the practicability and efficiency of the technique, the results are discussed, and solutions for the problems are recommended. Therefore, this technique can be used to analyze the performance of the space-based SAR processor using RDA.
