Synthetic Aperture Radar Signal Processing with MATLAB Algorithms Hardcover – Import, 23 May 1999

One of the best SAR signal processing book. The mathematics are very clear and the matlab examples are very illustrative.

This is a well written book about the different types of synthetic aperture radar. I purchased it to learn more about SAR, and it is a great addition to a general book on modern radar techniques. The only drawback is that it could have more content considering the cost of the book.

I'm writing this review soon after having received the book so I haven't had the time to go and study everything yet. But I went quite extensively through the first two chapters (equation by equation), which is the basis for this review: _ The book: quite good and clear. All the equations are easy to follow even if I they are a bit scattered, or at least they seem to be: I wish they were numbered and referenced in the text. Instead, the reader has to find pages back and forth to connect the text with the equations. Mind you, doing this is a good exercise to eventually remember them. _ The algorithms: this is the weak point in my opinion. The title does say "with MATLAB Algorithms" and it is true, some MATLAB scripts are provided. But they are not properly referenced in the text and the scripts themselves are very raw. As part of a book, I would have expected a clear connection between the equations/sections and the algorithms, with clear comments and more details. Here, it is about one script per chapter and up to the reader to make the connections. Again, good as a homework I guess ("find which part of the script corresponds to which part of the chapter") but a bit frustrating when time is short.

I had to buy it for a class so cannot compare to other books on same subject.

there are many examples for matlab in this book, however it has little bit a lack of considerartion for beginer. I recommand this book to persons who need to practice the simulation or generation of SAR Image.
