A new technique of identifying orientation angles of walls of buildings has been proposed in this paper. The present method is based on multilook processing. The aim of this work is to find the relationships between the received signals reflected from uniform targets (e.g. walls, parts of buildings, etc.) positioned at different orientation angles towards the radar platform. The technique is dedicated for synthetic aperture radars systems. It can be used to extend target identification in synthetic aperture radars images obtained by a single-channel antenna. In this paper, theoretical analysis is presented and verified with simulated radar data.
