Abstract
This paper discusses the use of Capon’s minimumvariance
method (MVM) and Amplitude and Phase EStimation
(APES) spectral-estimation algorithms to synthetic aperture radar
range–azimuth focusing. The rationale of the algorithms is discussed.
An implementation of a Capon or APES processing chain
is explained, and processing parameters such as chip-image size,
resampling factor, and diagonal loading are discussed. For multichannel
cases, a joint-processing approach is presented. A set
of Monte Carlo simulations are described and used to benchmark
Capon- and APES-based processing against conventional
matched-filter-based approaches. Both methods improve the resolution
and reduce sidelobes. APES yields generally better estimates
of amplitude and phase than Capon but with worse
resolution. Results with RADARSAT-2 quad-polarization data
over Barcelona are used to qualitatively study the real-life performance
of these algorithms.
