Abstract :
This paper compares four different radar imaging techniques using both real and synthetic data. Some description is given of each technique and subjective comparisons are made in terms of image quality and computational speed. The filtered backprojection method, also known as the convolution backprojection, yields the best imaging results at a reasonable computational price
