Abstract. Synthetic aperture radars (RSA) are universal radar imaging devices with high resolution, which are used to provide detailed reconnaissance, surveillance and reconnaissance. RSA is often used in cases where shooting is carried out in difficult weather conditions and optical imaging devices become unusable. However, when shooting using optical imaging on moving objects, images often look "blurred". In such situations, resort to interferometry is a method that is widely used in practice to extract motion parameters of moving objects. This method requires a dual-aperture radar system, the use of which implies an increase in the power, size and cost of the radar. This article presents a method for estimating the motion parameters of an object in single-channel remote control systems with specified geometric constraints on the object's movement.
Key words: synthetic aperture radar, indication of moving objects, single-channel SAR, motion parameter estimation, a priori constraint.
