Multiple transducer synthetic aperture sonar interferometry for emulating SAR interferometry

Multiple transducer single-pass synthetic aperture sonar interferometry in air is a technique that can emulate topographic mapping techniques that have not been implemented using radar or that are relatively expensive and difficult to obtain in practice for the radar engineer who wishes to test algorithms using suitable data. This dissertation describes the implementation of a 40 kHz synthetic aperture sonar for acquiring radar-like data. Investigations into beamformed synthetic aperture sonar images as well as multiple-baseline sonar interferons resulting from imaging a variety of scenes are presented in this thesis.
