    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining SAR images with reduced or eliminated surface clutter to detect subsurface targets, the method comprising the following steps: -selecting a first frequency and an incidence angle for the radar signal such that the ratio of surface backscattering to subsurface target backscattering is significantly larger for vertical polarization than for horizontal -obtaining vertically and horizontally polarized SAR images based on the same SAR path exploiting the selected first frequency and viewing angle -weighting and differencing the vertically and horizontally polarized SAR images so that the surface backscattering completely cancels between the two images and only the combination of the target backscattering components remains.

    Abstract: A SYSTEM FOR DETECTING AND VISUALIZING TARGETS BY AIRBORNE RADAR, comprising a plurality of N antennae with a narrow beam in elevation and wide in azimuth, regularly disposed on a rotary base coupled to an engine, the elevation orientations of said antennae being staggered according to a defined pattern, each antenna being associated to a radar device endowed with computer means furnishing information relating to distance, azimuth, elevation and speed of fixed and moving obstacles above and below the plane of said rotary base. Some antennae point towards a place above the horizon, the angles of view being progressively descending so as to cover a volume that extends above and below the plane of the horizon, and may reach the ground. Said volume results from the sum of the volumes of superimposed cones, each cone corresponding to an elevation angle. The system combines the images of the N conical volumes to provide the pilot or operator a three-dimensional image.

    Abstract: A system and method for using microwaves for forming a three-dimensional image of a target are disclosed. One or more RF waveforms are emitted toward the target on a plurality of frequencies from an array of antennas positioned around the target. Each antenna in the array of antennas is selectively controlled to receive multi-frequency RF energy from one or more emitted RF waveforms that is scattered by the target. The multi-frequency RF energy is coherently digitized as reflection data. The reflection data is then processed to form a three-dimensional image of an area in proximity of the platform and including the target.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a radar system for active obstacle warning and imaging of the surface of the earth, working in the pulse frequency or FM-CW range, which can be used in on-line operation in real time, comprising a plurality of antenna elements for sending and receiving radar signals, which are arranged on the fuselage of an aircraft, and which may be turned on and scanned sequentially, whereby a synthetic aperture can be generated by means of periodic sending and receiving of the antenna elements. According to the invention, the antenna elements are arranged along the curved surface of the aircraft contour, whereby a SAR processor is present, which analyzes the data obtained from the antenna elements and displays them as processed radar images on board the aircraft, in a virtual cockpit.
