Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] DIY SAR Radar

[Lee Patton]

This will be extremely challenging. Synthetic Aperture Radar is much
more complicated than say, pulsed-Doppler radar. Whereas, pulsed-Doppler
radar can be explained in a few minutes, SAR cannot. In fact, the
nuances of SAR take most people quite sometime to understand.

In addition to very strict radar transmitter and receiver requirements,
you must have accurate aircraft positioning information to make the
algorithms work (less than 1/8 of a wavelength in most cases).

With that said, if you choose to continue with this project, I will be
very interested to learn of your progress.
