IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters
Year: 2025 | Early Access Article |
High-Resolution Wide Swath (HRWS) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems are normally designed to have identical antenna patterns in each receive channel. Nevertheless, due to different factors, this condition might not be satisfied, resulting in a multichannel radar system with different antenna patterns.
