Product Description
An up-to-date analysis of the SAR wavefront reconstruction signal theory and its digital implementation With the advent of fast computing and digital information processing techniques, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology has become both more powerful and more accurate. Synthetic Aperture Radar Signal Processing with MATLAB Algorithms addresses these recent developments, providing a complete, up-to-date analysis of SAR and its associated digital signal processing algorithms. This book introduces the wavefront reconstruction signal theory that underlies the best SAR imaging methods and provides clear guidelines to system design, implementation, and applications in diverse areas-from airborne reconnaissance to topographic imaging of ocean floors to surveillance and air traffic control to medical imaging techniques, and numerous others. Enabling professionals in radar signal and image processing to use synthetic aperture technology to its fullest potential, this work:
* Includes M-files to supplement this book that can be retrieved from The MathWorks anonymous FTP server at ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/books/soumekh
* Provides practical examples and results from real SAR, ISAR, and CSAR databases
* Outlines unique properties of the SAR signal that cannot be found in other information processing systems
* Examines spotlight SAR, stripmap SAR, circular SAR, and monopulse SAR modalities
* Discusses classical SAR processing issues such as motion compensation and radar calibration

 One of the best texts on SAR signal processing October 21, 2005

SAR imaging owes a lot to inverse scattering theory, coherence theory, Fourier optics and holography. Luckily, Soumekh comes from an optics background and therefore, is very comfortable with all the optics stuff. He has done an excellent job in presenting different modalities of SAR imaging like stripmap and spotlight and implementing the algorithms in matlab. There is a lot of depth in his book and every time I read it I understand something that I could not understand when I read it last time. I have become a fan of Soumekh. I also attended one of his tutorials based on this book in the SPIE symposium in Orlando Florida.
Excellent comprehensive text June 7, 2006

To me, this book's greatest strength is instant applicability of theories and recipes presented in it. Virtually all topics in SAR are covered with great quality. There is no hard tie to any particular type of radar signals, which makes it very versatile.
Certainly one of the best engineering books I ever bought.
 nice applications with heavy computations December 25, 2004

Wasn't there once a time, in the depths of the Cold War, when Synthetic Aperture Radar was highly classified? It is still jarring to me to see a book like this, telling all and sundry about the many applications to which it can be directed.
Soumekh takes us through the basic theory. Intensive numerical analysis. Which is why Matlab has been drafted by him to aid us. A nice aid to following the concepts and seeing examples that are non-trivial. The hardest sections of each chapter are on the reconstruction of the data. That is, in the finding of possible sources that gave rise to the observed signals.
You would do well before reading this book to be fully conversant about [Fast] Fourier Transforms and scattering of radiation from objects. Put it this way, if Point Spread Function doesn't mean anything to you, then the book might be of limited use in your situation.
He discusses important geometries, like stripmap and the circular SAR. But just as importantly, there is good mention of applications like aerial reconnaissance or surveying.
there are many examples for matlab in this book March 29, 2010
Ji-Hwan, Hwang (Seoul, Korea)
there are many examples for matlab in this book, however it has little bit a lack of considerartion for beginer. I recommand this book to persons who need to practice the simulation or generation of SAR Image.
