ABSTRACT:
A technique for correcting the non-uniform illumination and return echo strength from a mapped area resulting from antenna beam shape and range loss effects in a batch high resolution synthetic aperture radar. The technique involves changing the radar receiver gain in a precisely defined compensating manner and eliminates amplitude roll off at the edges of the display map so that equal target returns are displayed at equal amplitudes at any point of the map. The compensation arrangement requires minimal memory and computational overhead and thereby achieves minimal impact on frame time of the displayed map. The disclosure includes a computer simulation of the radar system performnce and comparison of the simulated before and after compensation radar maps.
