Abstract
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a growing problem in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The choice of operational frequency of remote sensing instruments is dictated by the physics of the parameters that are to be observed. On the other hand, the frequency spectrum becomes more crowded with the increasing demand for wireless services. This requires cohabitation of multiple systems at the same or neighbouring frequency bands. As a result, RFI can introduce artefacts and degrade the derived SAR products. A mitigation of RFI is critical. New removal techniques can be implemented with Digital Beamforming (DBF) radars. In this paper, we present a Pulse and Range-Dependent Time Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (PRDTMVDR) Beamformer. The antenna pattern (AP) is adaptively changed for each pixel based on the inherent imaging geometry of SAR and thus the RFI suppression is improved compared to an AP that is fixed for the pulse duration.
