SAR image synthesis with chirp scaling algorithm of 3D CAD model using EM simulator

摘要

In this paper, we describe a simple method for SAR image synthesis of a realistic target model using the general purpose EM simulator like FEKO and demonstrate the steps by processing the simulated SAR raw data with chirp-scaling algorithm (CSA), which is one of the most widely used SAR image formation algorithms. This method can benefit us many advantages like performance evaluation for target detection, estimation and target recognition with realistic target model in a cost-and-time effective way.
