A radar system may include an antenna, a waveform generator for generating
a plurality of waveforms for different polarizations and/or having
different frequency components, and a transmitter connected to the
waveform generator for transmitting the plurality of waveforms via the
antenna. Moreover, the radar system may also include a receiver connected
to the antenna for receiving reflected signals from targets, and a
processor for iteratively deconvolving the reflected signals to generate
target data. More particularly, the radar system and targets may be
relatively movable with respect to one another, and the processor may
therefore store reflected signals over a length of relative movement and
generate the target data based upon the stored signals to thus provide a
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system or an inverse SAR (ISAR) system.
