Abstract :
Surveillance RADARs normally share time for detecting fixed and moving targets. With modern digital waveform synthesis and high performance computing, it is feasible to collect signals that use space, time and frequency encoding to simultaneously operate in GMTI and SAR modes. This paper summarizes a new waveform and adaptive RADAR architecture with the potential for simultaneous SAR and GMTI operation, along with a detailed simulation of target detections.
