Phase Shift Migration with Modified Coherent Factor Algorithm for MIMO-SAR 3D Imaging in THz Band

In multiple-input-multiple-output synthetic aperture radar (MIMO-SAR) systems, sparse arrays are usually applied, resulting in increased sidelobes of the point spread function. In this paper, a phase shift migration (PSM) imaging algorithm based on the explosion reflection model with modified cohere...
