We consider imaging strategies for synthetic aperture radar datacollections that span a wide angular aperture. Most traditionalradar imaging techniques are predicated on the assumption ofisotropic point scattering mechanisms, which does not hold forwide apertures. We investigate point scattering center images fornarrowband, wide angle data, and consider the effect of limitedpersistence on the resulting images. We investigate imagingstrategies that apply to wide angle apertures. We show thatcoherent processing of the entire wide angle aperture may not bethe best image formation strategy for objects of practicalinterest. Finally, we present initial results on resolutionenhancement techniques for wide angle apertures.
