Abstract: A method and apparatus for receiving signals from an unknown transmitting source and providing the location of the unknown transmitting source comprising a series of channels for receiving signals radiated by the unknown transmitting sources, generating preprocessed time domain data and generating a SAR image depicting a location of the unknown transmitting source, and a processor for processing the preprocessed time domain data to enhance a pixel value at each pixel location within the SAR image by summing signal data from each channel related to each pixel location to generate an enhanced SAR image.

Abstract: A radar assembly for receiving signals at spaced frequencies from an unknown transmitting source comprising a receiver operative to receive signals; the receiver comprising a series of channels, each channel comprising a low pass filter configured to allow passage of a signal from an unknown transmitting source, an analog to digital converter configured to transform the signal from the unknown transmitting source to a digital signal, a Hilbert transform configured to transform the digital signal from the unknown transmitting source into a single sideband signal, a Fourier transform configured to transform the single sideband signal into a plurality of regularly spaced frequency samples, and an inverse Fourier transform for extracting regularly spaced frequency samples; whereby extracted pulses form a train of pulses that are inputted into an imager which utilizes synthetic aperture radar to form an image of the area of interest containing the unknown transmitting device and method thereof.
