Abstract

Exemplary systems utilize a frequency stacking bandwidth reconstruction technique for a stepped frequency signal to create a synthetic wideband waveform. The methods enable low-cost, reconfigurable applications such as ground penetrating radar or small unmanned aerial vehicle synthetic aperture radar platforms.
