It is difficult to directly compress synthetic aperture radar(SAR)raw data for the low relativity.In this paper,a new algorithm is put forward.Range focusing is imposed to SAR raw data,which leads to comparatively high relativity,then a linear prediction is performed along the azimuth direction,and block adaptive quantization is used to the prediction error series.The experiments manifest that with same bit rate,signal to quantization noise ration(SQNR)and signal to distor tion noise ratio(SDNR)after using ...
