His thesis can help with some signal processing details, but the book Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar: Signal Processing Algorithms by Carrara, Goodman, and Majewski is even better.
on “6 GHz frequency modulated radar” ↗…Scatterers along the same iso-range and iso-Doppler lines over the length of the synthetic aperture are not distinguishable. As to your question earlier in the chain, my preferred SAR book is Carrara et al. Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar: Signal Processing Algorithms. Given the title, it is of course geared toward spotlight (where you steer the beam to a particular point) rather than strip map or swath (where your beam is pointed at…
