Re: Radar/SAR/ISAR signal processing and system design

Thanks.  I have dig up some books from the library shelves.  One of
the books is by Hovanessian.  Though it is an "old" book, he gave me
the basic building block of a SAR system in simple terms (not too much
into DSP) that I can understand. Imho, Carrara have "jumped" started
too much or it is good for people with a very string DSP
understanding, which I am lacking.

  He talks about PI/4 as the allowable phase shift for an apertue
length of L for focused array.  Am wondering what is the effect if the
value is changed to smaller or bigger (in multiple of PI/8)?  And why
is it the "magical" number PI/4?

Thanks.
Regards,
Ralph
