    Parameter estimation of 2D multi-component polynomial phase signals: an application to SAR imaging of moving targets

    No full text
    Polynomial-phase signals (PPS) appear in a variety of applications and several algorithms are available to estimate their parameters in the presence of noise. Among the available tools, the product high order ambiguity function (PHAF) has the merit of performing well in the presence of a superposition of PPS's. In this work, we generalize the PHAF to handle two-dimensional PPS's. Then we show an example of application motivating such an extension: the high resolution imaging of moving targets from synthetic aperture radars (SAR). Using the 2D-PHAF, we will propose an algorithm that compensates jointly for the range cell migration and the phase modulation induced by the relative radar-target motion in order to produce a focused image of the moving target. Numerical results illustrate the advantages of the proposed method when compared to existing auto-focusing algorithm

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
