摘要
An improved space-variant postfiltering approach to compensate for the wavefront curvature effect in polar format imagery is presented in this letter. The main contribution of this new method is the construction of a space-variant filter, which is based on exploiting the endomorphism property of the polar format transformation. The new approach provides an accurate and general solution to wavefront curvature compensation under arbitrary radar flight path. Finally, point target simulation has validated the effectiveness of the new approach.
