Abstract :
The modifications and additions that were necessary to incorporate spotlight and strip-map synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) modes into the AN/APS-506 radar are described. The changes include enhancing the radar´s coherence and adding software for SAR control. A motion-compensation subsystem and data-recording facility were also developed. Real-time SAR and motion-compensation processors that are under development will be included in the final system. In addition to the description of the SAR system, impulse response measurements and examples of images are presented
