is a principal scientist at FFI, while Andreas Austeng is a professor at UiO. I am employed at FFI, where I started in 1998 after receiving my degree of Cand. Scient. in Physics from the University of Bergen. The work on the thesis was conducted as a part of my job over the years 2011 -2021, and was funded by FFI's projects on synthetic aperture sonar (SAS). These SAS projects have been run and financed through a collaboration between FFI, Kongsberg Maritime and the Royal Norwegian Navy. This thesis includes a collection of five papers, placed and presented in a larger common perspective. I first place the title topic of "Advanced SAS" in a greater context. Then I present each of the individual papers, and give an updated review on their topics. I follow up with a discussion on my contributions in a greater perspective, before I summarize my findings and conclude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
