Abstract
This paper investigates techniques for using low probability of intercept (LPI) modulation techniques for forming
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. This analysis considers a speci c waveform type based upon Frank
codes in providing for the LPI capability via phase shift keying (PSK) modulation. A correlation receiver that
is matched to the transmitted waveform is utilized to generate a set of SAR data. This analysis demonstrates
the ability to form SAR images based upon simulated radar measurements collected by a notional radar sensor
that has ability to transmit and receive Frank-coded waveforms and to form SAR images based upon the results
of a correlation receiver. Spotlight-mode SAR images are generated using the Frank-coded waveforms and their
properties are analyzed and discussed.
