Abstract:
A method and apparatus for receiving signals from an unknown transmitting source and providing the location of the unknown transmitting source comprising a series of channels for receiving signals radiated by the unknown transmitting sources, generating preprocessed time domain data and generating a SAR image depicting a location of the unknown transmitting source, and a processor for processing the preprocessed time domain data to enhance a pixel value at each pixel location within the SAR image by summing signal data from each channel related to each pixel location to generate an enhanced SAR image.
