This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the structure of wide angle, ultra-wideband SAR images formed by a constant integration angle backprojection image former. It is shown that the effects of the image former can be modeled as a filtering operation on the original data. Furthermore, SAR images for different squint angles can be obtained from the original images by directional filtering. As a result, it is shown that perfect reconstructing directional filterbanks can be used as a unitary transform between SAR images and a 3-D representation containing additional aspect-angle information. It is demonstrated, how this new representation can be used to enhance targets.
