Abstract
This paper develops methods for using low probability
of intercept (LPI) transmission waveforms in order to
generate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. This analysis
considers a specific transmission waveform based upon P3
codes in order to give phase shift keying (PSK) modulation.
A matched correlation receiver is used to form SAR imagery
corresponding to the transmitted P3-modulated waveforms. This
analysis demonstrates the ability to generate SAR images based
upon simulated radar measurements collected by a notional
radar platform that can transmit and receive P3 waveforms. This
work analyzes the resulting spotlight-mode SAR images that are
generated using the P3 transmission waveforms.
