Title: Method for processing tops(terrain observation by progressive scan)-sar (synthetic aperture radar)-raw data
Inventor: PRATS PAU
IPC: G01S13/90
Filed: 2008-06-26
Abstract: Sub-aperture processing is carried out. Within each sub-aperture, range compression and a correction for the target range variation are carried out.  Baseband azimuth scaling is used for processing the azimuth signal, where-in a long azimuth reference function and thus a wide azimuth dimension are prevented. The scaling range is not constant and depends on the range, which is not equal to the original range vector. It is calculated such that, in combination with a subsequent derotation step, constant azimuth scanning is achieved for all ranges. The selected derotation function, which is applied in the azimuth time domain, makes it possible for all the targets to be in base band, in this way varying the effective chirp rate. Since the phase is purely quadratic because of the azimuth scaling step, it is thus possible to use an optimal filter which takes account of the effective chirp rate. IFFT  results in a focused image, and a final phase function in the time domain allows phase maintenance. Application for SAR, SONAR and seismic raw da-ta processing in the TOPS mode, as well as other modes which make use of the antenna polar diagram being scanned in the azimuth and/or elevation direction.

Abstract: A combustor (110) combust a fluidized bed of fossil fuel (114, 114') to heat a working fluid (102) and generate flue gas (104). An air preheater (144) has first and second gas passageways (144a, 144b) for respectively directing the generated flue gas (150) and another gas (250) with captured CO2 generated by combustion outside of the combustor (110). When operated in a non-CO2 capture, the air preheater (144) receives the flue gas (150), but not the other gas (250), and the first gas passageway (144a) directs the flue gas (150) so as to preheat the air (188). However, when operated in the CO2 capture mode, the air preheater (144) receives the flue gas (150) and the other gas (250), and the second gas passageway (144b) also directs the other gas (250) so as to preheat the air (188'). In either mode, the preheated air (188, 188') is applied by the combustor (110) to fluidize a bed of fossil fuel (114, 114').
