Abstract :
This paper describes a testbed for synthetic aperture techniques. The developed testbed uses only off-the-shelf components providing the students and the researchers with a low cost environment for development and testing of new algorithms. The applicability of the platform is demonstrated with acoustic images of point-like and extended targets.
