Synthetic aperture microscopy
… allowed us.finally to break those rules. Our "Synthetic Aperture Microscope" floods a large region with a richly complex, finely structured pattern of light-the interference pattern of a ring of n coherent sources. A target within the volume of the interference fluoresces (or scatters or …

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy
… (3D) optical microscopy, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy (ISAM), is introduced to account for the scattering effects. Comprehensive models for interferometric microscopy, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) are developed, for which forward, adjoint, normal, and inverse …

Doppler-only synthetic aperture radar
SAR has traditionally been performed using high-range resolution data. This thesis is a proof-of-concept that the imaging process can be performed using high-doppler resolution data. The system requires a simple continuous wave transmitter, and the signal returns are confined to a narrow band. …

Scaled Synthetic Aperture Rader Development
… previous Cal Poly thesis projects involve synthetic aperture radar (SAR), automatic target recognition (ATR), and tracking. SAR data was either accessed from a publicly available database or generated using complex computer modeling software. The motivation for this dual thesis project is …

Multifocal interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy
We extend interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM) to optical coherence tomography (OCT) data collected with multiple positions of the focal plane. Multifocal ISAM achieves spatially invariant resolution like ISAM by applying the solution of the inverse problem to the forward model for …

Two-Sensor Synthetic Aperture Geolocation Techniques
… relax it to two airborne sensors by applying a synthetic aperture technique. By fusing together data from multiple subsequent time samples, one can boost the overall resolution of the geolocation estimate. We propose using a series of geolocation measurements collected between two sensors …

Software simulation of synthetic aperture radar
The purpose of this report is to set out the results of the development of SAR simulation software. The aim of the thesis was to develop such software so that it provides the necessary functionality but is still flexible and simple to use. It addition it must be developed such that it may be …

Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Simulated in MATLAB
… with the goal of generating images using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulations coded in MATLAB. The project is supervised by Dr. John Saghri and sponsored by Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. SAR is a type of imaging radar in which the relative movement of the antenna with respect …

Motion Compensation of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
… from a nominal, straight-line flight path of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) lead to inaccurate and defocused radar images. This thesis is an investigation into the improvement of the motion compensation algorithm created for the BYU inteferometric synthetic aperture radar, YINSAR. The existing …

Synthetic aperture sonar for sub bottom imaging
The major problems associated with implementing synthetic apertures in sonar may be overcome by applying the technique to sub-bottom imaging. The use of a low frequency aids both penetration of the sediment and the attainment of long coherent apertures. The implementation of synthetic apertures …

Synthetic aperture radar image simulator for interferometry
An interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulator was created for the purposes of experimenting with and demonstration of the interferometric process, mission planning and radar image interpretation. The simulation method employs image statistics and terrain geometry to form a synthetic …

A spaceborne synthetic aperture radar data processor
… with the design and implementation of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data processor. The implementation of the processing is based on a standard sequential approach to the problem and employs commonly used algorithms. The processing was done using the C language running on an IBM …

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry with 3 satellites
Our study investigates interferometric SAR (InSAR) post-processing height retrieval techniques. We explore the possible improvements by adding a third satellite to the two already in orbit, and examine some potential uses of this setup. As such, we investigate three methods for height retrieval and …

Digital image processing of orbital synthetic aperture radar
Synthetic aperture radar (SAP) is gaining increasing importance in the field of remote sensing. The main feature of image data transmitted from orbital satellite synthetic aperture radar is all-weather performance, which explains its importance in many applications. Unfortunately SAP image data is …

Three-Dimensional Target Modeling with Synthetic Aperture Radar
Conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) offers high-resolution imaging of a target region in the range and cross-range dimensions along the ground plane. Little or no data is available in the range-altitude dimension, however, and target functions and models are limited to two-dimensional …
