Estimating Radar Velocity using Direction of Arrival Measurements

Doerry, Armin; Horndt, Volker H.; Bickel, Douglas L.; Naething, Richard M.

Direction of Arrival (DOA) measurements, as with a monopulse antenna, can be compared against Doppler measurements in a Synthetic Aperture Radar ( SAR ) image to determine an aircraft's forward velocity as well as its crab angle, to assist the aircraft's navigation as well as improving high - performance SAR image formation and spatial calibration.
