ABSTRACT:
An extended depth-of-focus synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system (13) mounted on a moving platform, including a controller (120), pulse timer (83), synthesizer (105) and modulator (17) for varying the pulse rate interval (PRI) and/or the radar carrier frequency of radar pulses produced, in order to establish a radar return which, when conventionally processed, results in a SAR terrain map exhibiting extended depth-of-focus under conditions of platform acceleration. Depth of focus is established by ensuring the establishment of two or three separate, independently selected focal points in a target region of interest.
