Signal enhancement for planetary radar sounders

Orbital radar sounders are a useful tool to investigate planetary bodies. The sounding signal lies in the high frequency or very high frequency band, allowing a good ground penetration but limiting the system's resolution. Moreover, electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the system, increasing the noise in the radar products. In this Letter, a method to enhance the resolution and to suppress the EMI is presented. The method's performance and the parameters setting are investigated.
