<p>A method of synthetic aperture radar autofocus for ground penetration radar (100). The method includes transmitting a signal via an antenna (102); receiving a reflected signal comprising a plurality of image blocks via the antenna (102); reading each image block from the reflected signal (602) via a processor (108); locating prominent targets in each image block (604) via the processor (108); estimating ground penetration phase error (606) via the processor (108) in each image block via phase error inputs (608) including pulling range and quantization level by generating a 1 D phase error (706) and converting the 1 D phase error into a 2 D phase error of an image spectra (708); refocusing each image block according to estimated ground penetration phase error for that image block (610) via the processor (108); and forming an image mosaic comprising each refocused image block (614) via the processor (108).</p> |
