  • Patent number: 6781540
    Abstract: A radar system may include an antenna, a waveform generator for generating a plurality of waveforms for different polarizations and/or having different frequency components, and a transmitter connected to the waveform generator for transmitting the plurality of waveforms via the antenna. Moreover, the radar system may also include a receiver connected to the antenna for receiving reflected signals from targets, and a processor for iteratively deconvolving the reflected signals to generate target data. More particularly, the radar system and targets may be relatively movable with respect to one another, and the processor may therefore store reflected signals over a length of relative movement and generate the target data based upon the stored signals to thus provide a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system or an inverse SAR (ISAR) system.
