Abstract
A method for correcting a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) antenna beam image comprising: collecting SAR data, forming an uncorrected image, isolating a pixel value from the uncorrected image, performing an inverse image formation on the isolated pixel value to convert the isolated pixel value into a phase history, calculating actual isolated pixel value location in the uncorrected image, computing range loss, antenna beam, and phase corrections for the isolated pixel value, interpolating range loss corrections, antenna beam pattern corrections, and phase corrections in the phase history, applying the interpolated corrections to the isolated pixel value phase history thereby forming a corrected phase history, converting the corrected phase history back into a corrected image, replacing the corresponding uncorrected pixel value in the uncorrected image with the corrected isolated pixel value, and repeating this process for all uncorrected pixel values thereby providing a corrected SAR image.
