Abstract

A synthetic array processor wherein radar data, received from an area to be mapped during a plurality of subarray flight path segments, is electronically focused in parallel processing channels to form a series of approximately rectangularly shaped low azimuth resolution maps; and signals associated with corresponding portions of each low resolution map are further processed by means of digital filtering techniques to provide, in a format readily adapted for display, a high azimuth resolution map.
