    Abstract: A synthetic aperture radar imaging method that combines each radar return pulse with a sinusoid to reduce the radar return pulses to a baseband frequency and deskew each radar return pulse. It includes determining a maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of residual motion parameters for a dominant scatterer on the ground relative to the airborne radar and correcting for errors in inertial navigation system measurements based on the MLE residual motion parameters. It includes convolving each radar return pulse with its corresponding radar transmission pulse to generate a range compressed image for each radar return pulse and generating a sub-band range profile image for each radar return pulse and its corresponding radar transmission pulse based on the corresponding range compressed image that has been corrected for residual motion. Performing bandwidth extrapolation on each sub-band and subsequently combining the three bands to produce an enhanced resolution image without grating lobes.

    Abstract: A delta-sigma modulator (DSM) includes: a first summation circuit coupled to an input signal for subtracting an error feedback signal from the input signal; a tunable signal transfer function coupled to the first summation circuit for setting a desired pole in a frequency response of the DSM; a second summation circuit coupled to the tunable signal transfer function for adding a noise transfer function to an output of the tunable signal transfer function; and a quantizer coupled to the second summation circuit for quantizing an output of the second summation circuit to generate an output of the DSM. The output of the DSM is used as feedback to the first summation circuit as the error feedback signal, and the tunable signal transfer function is dynamically tuned to allow selecting and tuning a center frequency and a bandwidth of the DSM.
