Target response analysis for forward-looking SAR with simultaneous cross-track transceiver translation.

Theoretical imaging performance for forward-looking synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with simultaneous cross-track transceiver translation is characterised. Cross-range resolution as a function of transceiver transverse velocity and synthetic aperture length is analysed. Then the transverse velocity needed to avoid left-right ambiguity is derived. Lastly, imaging performance is demonstrated by focusing simulated data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
