Cancellation of singularities for synthetic aperture radar
In a basic model for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, one wishes to recover a function or distribution f from line integrals over circles whose centers lie on a given curve γ. In this paper,
Microlocal Analysis of Some Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Problems
In this article, we analyze the microlocal properties of the linearized forward scattering operator $${\mathcal{F}},$$ which arises in synthetic aperture radar imaging. A frequently applied imaging

We study the existence and suppression of artifacts for a Doppler-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (DSAR) system. The idealized air- or space-borne system transmits a continuous wave at a fixed

This paper analyses the image that one obtains by backprojecting synthetic aperture RADAR data collected on a flight-track with inflection points. The result is that one obtains artefacts that are of

The paper considers a class of elliptical and circular Radon transforms appearing in problems of ultrasound imaging. These transforms put into correspondence to an unknown image function f in 2D its

• Mathematics
SIAM J. Math. Anal.

In this article, we consider two bistatic cases arising in synthetic aperture radar imaging: when the transmitter and receiver are both moving with different speeds along a single line parallel to
Cancellation of singularities in SAR for curved flight paths and non-flat topography
We consider a mathematical model of synthetic aperture radar with a known, possibly non-flat, topography. In this context we consider the problem of recovering the wavefront set of the ground
On the strength of streak artifacts in limited angle weighted X-ray transform
In this article, we study the limited angle problem for the weighted X-ray transform. We consider the approximate reconstructions by applying two filtered back projection formulas to the limited

We analyse further inverse problems related to synthetic aperture radar imaging considered by Nolan and Cheney (2002 Inverse Problems 18 221). Under a nonzero curvature assumption, it is proved that
Enhanced angular resolution from multiply scattered waves
• Mathematics

Multiply scattered waves are often neglected in imaging methods, largely because of the inability of standard algorithms to deal with the associated non-linear models. This paper shows that by

The paper shows how a simple antenna model can be used together with a linearized scattering approximation to predict the received signal and the conventional matched-filter processing is explained and analyzed to exhibit the resolution of the SAR system.

If the visible singularities of $f$ hit $\gamma$ once, it is shown that $WF(f)$ cannot be recovered; i.e., the artifacts cannot be resolved; and in the latter case, if f is known a priori to have singularities in a compact set, then one can recover f(f|_\Omega), using backpropagation for the wave equation.
