Abstract

Radar image formation is usually influenced by a lot of factors in radar signal processing. As a result, it is necessary to consider the performance of various radar imaging approaches at some undesirable situations. In this paper, we firstly present the semblance measure between two radar images to evaluate the effects of errors in quantity. Some radar imaging methods are then reviewed. Finally, the simulation results are given to illustrate the degradation of various radar imaging approaches resulting from four kinds of errors by use of the real data of model F-16 which is collected in a microwave anechoic chamber
