This unique resource presents the principles of meter wave ground imaging radar focusing on foliage penetration. Scattering of VHF/UHF radar signals are presented including the basic laws of electromagnetism, homogeneous media, media discontinuities/non-flat media discontinuities, and ground reflectivity. The book introduces meter wavelength synthetic aperture radar, bandwidth, and SAR imaging principles, including moving objects and also compares collected SAR data. Meter wavelength SAR system design and processing is explored, highlighting low frequency SAR design aspects, characterization of additive noise, antenna system basics, waveforms and emission adaptation which is critical material to the advancement in sensors and signal processing for below ground imaging by the energy industry and governments worldwide. The FFBP method of processing, explicit treatment of base 2 FFBP is explained along with motion errors sensitivity and motion estimation methods. The book also explains the Bayesian change detection, covariance moving target extraction and polarimetric subsurface imaging.
