Abstract
A synthetic aperture radar in which radial motion compensation is provided by a monopulse null tracking loop which tracks the null position of a stabilized monopulse antenna, and in which tangential motion compensation is provided by a tangential velocity measurement loop which tracks the cross-over angle of the monopulse antenna pattern. Since the motion compensation for the synthetic aperture radar is made in relation to a stabilized monopulse antenna, the imaging process for the synthetic aperture radar may be controlled in response to the angular scan rate of the antenna.
