We develop a theory of target detection and classification from physics-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signatures. The target-return and clutter-return models are developed from electromagnetic theory. Both stripmap-mode and spotlight-mode SARs are treated. Adaptive-resolution processors, conventional SAR processors, and optimum likelihood-ratio target detectors are presented for multicomponent target detection, and their receiver operating characteristics are compared. Similarly, conventional and optimum likelihood-ratio processors are used for multicomponent target classification. We develop upper and lower bounds and present Monte Carlo simulations for the probabilities of correct classification.
