MTI-SAR: MTI Multi-channel Techniques Survey and Scenario Definition

Abstract

This document is the output of Task 1 of the ESA Ka-band GMTI study. It provides a review of state-of-the-art single- and multi-channel techniques and algorithms for ground moving target indication and ocean current measurements, and a review of state-of-theart instruments. An analysis of these techniques and algorithms in terms target detection performance, computational load requirements, downlink data rates and need for training sequences is conducted. For each reviewed algorithm the advantages and drawbacks are identified. Potential scenarios of application are listed.
