Simulation and Compensation of Ionospheric Phase Phase Scintillation Noise in Spotlight SAR Data

This thesis addresses the problem of refocusing smeared SAR images caused by ionosphere phase scintillation noise. A SAR data is smeared when the received signal experiences phase irregularities due to platform orbit deviation, target movement, or, in this thesis, ionospheric scintillation noise due...
