摘要
This paper describes two Ultra-Wideband Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) currently being developed, One, the Foliage Penetration Advanced Technology Demonstration, will be installed on an Army C-12 and eventually the Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. It is designed to detect stationary military vehicles, which are camouflaged or hidden in forests and tree-lines. It employs a VHF SAR for screening and a UHF SAR for rejections of false-alarms. The second is an interferometric SAR for topographic terrain mapping. It operates on a business Set simultaneously with an X-band SAR, Together the two obtain high-quality imagery and terrain height of the ground even under foliage, The paper describes the phenomenology of foliage penetration, Ultra-Wideband SAR, and the different design issues associated with target detection and terrain mapping.
