Performance bounds, optimization and estimation techniques for synthetic aperture radar

This thesis describes the application of the Cramer Rao inequality to synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The resulting Cramer Rao lower bounds (CRB) reveal the smallest possible error variances for target parameter estimates (position and reflectivity), regardless of the estimator or SAR processing. Th...
