Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which provides images of targets using radio signals, enables monitoring at all times regardless of weather conditions. In this paper, the SAR system was installed on the test aircraft to collect SAR raw data on the ground and the sea, and the results of image formation using the backprojection algorithm were presented.

전파 신호를 이용하여 목표물에 대한 영상을 제공하는 합성개구 레이다(SAR, Synthetic Aperture Radar)는 기상조건과 무관하게 전천후 감시가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 시험 항공기에 SAR 시스템을 탑재하여 육상과 해상에서 SAR 원시 데이터를 확보하였고 역투영 알고리즘을 이용한 영상형성 결과를 나타내었다.
