Fundamentals and Geophysical Applications of Imaging Radar Systems

1-4 Hours

Explore how radar images are formed and manipulated, as well as applications of the systems to problems such as measurement of the Earth crustal deformation. Focus on radar as a signal processing problem, radar image formation and radar interferometry. Discuss system design, scattering from natural surfaces, range and azimuth processing algorithms, and processor design. Computational Engineering 379L (Topic: Fund/Geophy App Imag Radar Sys) and 379L (Topic 4) may not both be counted.
