Abstract

This work concentrates on the analysis of radar signature signals for the characterization and efficient computational of finite discrete 2D point spread functions. A general simple model for ground penetrating raw data image formation is assumed in order to concentrate on the efficient computation of point spread functions. The point spread functions are used as impulse response functions for the simulation of high resolution image of 2D synthetic aperture imaging kernels. A methodology has been developed to serve as a tool aid in the analysis, design, and efficient implementation of 1D and 2D fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms prevalent in SAR image formation operations with the idea in mind of reducing the computational effort and improving the hardware implementation process. Kronecker products algebra, a branch of finite dimensional multilinear algebra, has been demonstrated to be a useful tool aid in the development of fast algorithms for unitary transformations and in the identification of similarities and differences among FFT computational frameworks.
