Fast Factorized Back Projection (FFBP)
Key points of FFBP (L. Ulander et al., IEEE TAES 2003):
Recursive division of the synthetic aperture (no cost)
After the division, the smallest sub-apertures are back-projected on a polar grid centred on each sub-aperture (~N3/2k)
Recursive addition of the sub-apertures by means of interpolations between polar grids (quality-dependent)

Modifications of FFBP for CSAR
The orientation of the polar grid for each sub-aperture changes following the circular trajectory.
The polar-to-polar interpolation needs to project first to ground coordinates and then back to the new polar centre.
The DEM must be generated (interpolated) for each polar centre.
