Common applications of side-lookingù synthetic aperture radar (SAR) take advantage of its superfine radar imagery for combat surveillance, precision navigation, and missile guidance as well as high resolution geophysical mapping. This compendium contains 33 key papers culled from such authoritative sources as the IEEE Transactions on AES, ANE, and MIL-E, in addition to Spectrum and relevant conference proceedings. The editor's interpretive comments offer an excellent perspective on theoretical and practical developments in SAR. With illustrations and references.
