| Abstract | Spaceborne radar systems have been proposed that use the concept of "formation flying" satellites; a system wherein a cluster of small, individual satellites orbit the Earth while remaining in the same relative positions with respect to each other. Each individual satellite would be a standard SAR sensor, but the data collected from each could be combined to produce a single "virtual" satellite from the overall array of sensors. The question from a radar standpoint is, how should this data be processed, and what are the benefits in radar performance resulting from this design? A spaceborne array of radar satellites has the advantage that angle-of-arrival information, in addition to range-Doppler data, is collected. Essentially, the array of satellites can be viewed as a large, albeit sparse, array of antennas. This paper demonstrates that this extra information can be used to produce SAR imagery over both an arbitrarily wide swathwidth and with fine resolution. This is accomplished by applying a minimum mean squared error processing algorithm to combine the data from each sensor. The results of several simulations are shown; they demonstrate the efficacy of the concept and the processing. It is also shown that, as the number of satellites increases, the performance of the MMSE processing increases and the hardware requirements associated with each radar are eased. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
