Popis: The phase-gradient algorithm represents a powerful new signal-processing technique with applications to aperture-synthesis imaging. These include, for example, synthetic-aperture-radar phase correction and stellar-image reconstruction. The algorithm combines redundant information present in the data to arrive at an estimate of the phase derivative. We show that the estimator is in fact a linear, minimum-variance estimator of the phase derivative.
