Blind Source Separation: A Novel Range Ambiguity Suppression Method in Multichannel SAR

Kurzfassung

In this paper, we introduce a blind source separation (BSS) method as a novel approach to suppress range ambiguities in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The method is described and applied to a SAR image with simulated range ambiguity. Statistical analysis of the input image data is done to determine suitability of BSS implementation. The result is analyzed and there is a significant improvement in recovering the original image. The paper shows that the BSS method is promising enough to be further extended to more realistic range ambiguous SAR scenario.
