Is it possible to observe more area in azimuth than physically traveled in stripmap SAR?
I have been examining stripmap SAR algorithms, mainly Range Migration Algorithm. When I check the textbook examples so far I always saw the data trajectory is larger than scene that is observed. An ...

Equation of wave in Linear frequency modulation?
We know that we have the following equation for wave.
$$g(t)=A\cos(\omega t+\theta_0)=A\cos(2\pi ft+\theta_0)$$
The equation of frequency with respect to time will be:
$$f(t)=\frac{Bt}{\tau}+f_c-\...

Chirp after T seconds
Suppose we have this signal from this wiki page
$a(t)=\sin(\varphi_o + f_0t + (f_1-f_0)t^2/T)$
The article tells that T is a period of chirp modulation in which frequency changes. So my question is ...

Doppler Shifting A Chirp Signal
So I have a digital linear chirp signal:
$$ x[n] = \sqrt{\frac{2}{N}} \cdot \cos\Big( 2 \pi \frac{f_{0}}{f_{s}}n + \pi \frac{B}{N} n^{2}\Big) $$
Where $f_{0}$ is the initial frequency, $f_{s}$ is ...

Decoupling two signals where one is a delayed version of the other
I have a signal $y(t)$ that consists of the sum of two signals where one is a time delayed version of the other.
$ y(t) = x(t) + x(t-t_{d}) $
$x(t)$ is known but the time delay $t_d$ is not.
I ...

How can the FFT be used for estimating linear chirp parameters?
Consider a linear chirp signal, i.e. $f(t) = f_0 + kt$, where $f_0$ is the starting frequency, and $k$ is the chirp rate. After applying an FFT, how would I find the starting frequency and chirp rate?
