SAR imaging of the ocean surface: nonlinearities simulation andestimation

摘要

This paper summarizes the most important results obtained by the2D simulations of the decomposition of the SAR ocean imaging processover the Volterra models. These models allow a quite simplenonlinearities analysis from the point of view of nonlinear energyquantification but also for the phase coupling detection (i.e.nonlinearity detection) by using higher order spectrum (HOS) tools
