1 Abstract - KNU and KIGAM are developing a ground-based Arc-scannin g SAR system (ArcSAR) mounted on a truck. The system achieves a coherent integration of radar returns from ground targets by the circular motion of the antennae attached to the end of an extend able arm. Precise control of antenna position and the extended c oherent-integration-length enable the formation of high-resoluti on, high-precision and phase-preserving SAR images. Deramp-FFT algorithm was used for ArcSAR Spot Mode focusing while Range- Doppler algorithm was implemented for ArcSAR Scan Mode, both in polar format. ArcSAR Spot Mode has 3.14 times higher resolution than GB-SAR, while ArcSAR Scan Mode can obtain omnidirectional image with reduced resolution but still has 11 times higher resolution than a conventional real aperture radar.

GB-SAR
DInSAR tested: Phase stability of 1° (0.1mm range) was achieved for several hours for stable reflectors, rendering phase change of 10 ° to be assured (1mm accuracy).
GB-SAR can be used for various applications such as:Safety monitoring of natural or anthropogenic structuresMicrowave backscattering properties of targetNew SAR system concept design
