A comparison of resolution for spotlight synthetic-aperture radar and computer-aided tomography
Abstract
It is shown that the difference between computer-aided tomographic (CAT) resolution and spotlight synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) resolution for narrow apertures is a consequence of the magnification in Fourier bandwidth induced by the SAR offset carrier frequency. Implications for CAT are discussed.
