Abstract:
This paper describes the novel imaging of SAR phenomena produced from vibrating targets with multipath effects. It has been established, through numerical SAR experiments, that different physical mechanisms interact to produce new artefacts. The computations demonstrated that the edges of a dielectric medium can act as a source for multipath effects to emanate from, leading to the hypothesis that SAR artefacts can arise from through-wall SAR imagery. This deduction and mechanism of origin were validated through several experimental measurements, undertaken at Cranfield University’s Antennas and Ground-based SAR laboratory, yielding results that closely match those predicted.
