Abstract
In certain radar imaging applications one encounters the problem of reconstructing a reflectivity function from information about its averages over circles with center on a straight line. A robust inversion method is a filtered backprojection method, similar to the one used in medical tomography. We will present a fast algorithm for this backprojection operator. Numerical examples are given.
