Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging usually
requires echo data collected continuously pulse by pulse with certain
bandwidth. However in real situation, data collection or part of signal
spectrum can be interrupted due to various reasons, i.e. there will be
gaps in spatial spectrum. In this case we need to find ways to fill out
the resulted gaps and get image with defined resolution. In this paper
we introduce our work on how to apply iterative spatially variant
apodization (Super-SVA) technique to extrapolate the spatial
spectrum in both azimuthal and range directions so as to fill out the
gaps and get correct radar image.
