Experimental evaluation of SAR imaging using FMCW radar at C-band for small UAVs

This paper describes the performance of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system mounted in a multirotor UAV platform. SAR is commonly used for the generation of high-resolution images over long distances and transported by large aircraft. However, SAR systems recently have been scaled up to compact modules to fulfill the limitations of weight, payload, dimensions and energy consumption for operation in small Unmanned Vehicle (UAVs).
