Embodiments are disclosed that for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems and methods that process radar image data to generate radar images using vector processor engines, such as single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) processor engines. The vector processor engines can be further augmented with accelerators that vectorize element selection thereby expediting memory accesses required for interpolation operations performed by the vector processor engines.

An ad hoc approach denoted as devoid clutter capture and filling (DeCCaF) that addresses the nonstationarity effects that arise when input radar waveform returns exhibiting dynamic spectra variations are processed to combat dynamic RFI is disclosed. Portions of the spectra of each input waveform return of a set of input radar waveform returns processed during the CPI may be filled with clutter information borrowed from other waveform returns of the set of waveform returns. DeCCaF may combined with an appropriate filter (e.g., a matched filter, a mismatched filter) to achieve results that are nearly indistinguishable from input radar waveform returns in which no spectral variation are present.

An operation method of a radar signal processing apparatus in a radar system may include: generating pulse signals of a number of any one sampling rate having different phases; transmitting the pulse signals to a target; receiving reflected pulse signals reflected back from the target; generating a composite signal by sampling the reflected pulse signals and combining the sampled reflected pulse signals to match the phases; and extracting target information from the composite signal.

A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) generates concurrent first radar pulses in first frequency channels. The SAR transmits, and receives returns of, the concurrent first radar pulses by first antenna feeds that form first beams in the first frequency channels and that are directed to respective first subswaths of a swath on the Earth separated by subswath gaps. The SAR generates concurrent second radar pulses in second frequency channels. The SAR transmits, and receives returns of, the concurrent second radar pulses by second antenna feeds configured to form second beams in the second frequency channels and that are directed to respective second subswaths of the swath on the Earth and that coincide with the subswath gaps. The SAR processes the returns of the first radar pulses from the first subswaths and the returns of the second radar pulses from the second subswaths to form a SAR image contiguous across the swath.
