Inhalt:
A Fast Factorized Backprojection scheme modified to X-band frequencies and applicable to small aperture beamwidths is presented to compute SAR images from real and synthetic airborne data sets. The numerical complexity and memory consumption of the algorithm is verified and compared to ordinary Backprojection. The modified Fast Factorized Backprojection scheme is investigated for exceedingly curved flight paths and compared to an ω-k algorithm in combination with a motion error correction. Excellent SAR image focusing results were found for the modified Fast Factorized Backprojection approach while keeping the numerical complexity to O(N2log(N)).
