Synthetic aperture radar construction of spectrum map for cognitive radio networking

To network cognitive radios that require spectrum sensing to identify transmission opportunities emerges as a critical technology to facilitate spectrum efficient wireless communications. We propose to apply synthetic aperture radar technology to construct spectrum map so that efficient cognitive radio networking operation is possible in this paper. We demonstrate such an approach indeed realizing spectrum map.
