Removing RF interferences from P-band airplane SAR data

This paper approaches the problem of canceling the disturbances due to RF interferences in P-band, airborne SAR missions. Two techniques are introduced: one exploits MUSIC to estimate the interferences' frequencies, and then performs notch filtering at that frequencies; whereas the other adaptively estimate the interference contributions and cancel them by means of in-phase subtraction. Both techniques have been successfully tested on the data acquired by the DLR E-SAR sensor over urban area
