radar imaging, is the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the imaging platform is moving In this direction, radar echoes are separated using the time delay between the echoes that are back-scattered from the different surface elements This is true for both real aperture and synthetic aperture radar imagers
Today, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) plays an important role in military ground surveillance and earth observation Since the late eighties a couple of SAR-systems have been developed for both space and airborne operation The underlying radar principle offers advantages compared to competing sensors in infrared or visible spectral area
Understanding SAR: di erent points of view Example of a SAR algorithm: the RMA Introductions Introductions What is SAR? De nition Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active remote sensing technology that uses microwave energy to illuminate the surface The system records the elapsed time and energy of the return pulse received by the antenna
backscattered radar responses are therefore obtained for that object After intensive signal processing, all of those responses can be processed in a such a way, that the resulting image looks like the data were obtained from a big, stationary antenna The synthetic aperture in this case, therefore, is the distance travelled by the spacecraft
A background in radar fundamentals that are necessary for the understanding and appreciation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR), the products derived from it and how SAR systems operate In addition, a high-level description of radar polarization will also be presented DURATION - 4 HOURS What to Expect This 4 hour course is designed to provide
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important engineering advancement that has numerous applications throughout the military and civilian worlds SAR is unique because it incorporates the motion of the platform into the digital signal processing in order to simulate an improbably large physical radar antenna A transceiver is affixed to a plane
The object of synthetic aperture radar imaging (SAR) is to infer re ectivity pro les from measurement of scattered electromagnetic waves The word \aperture" refers to the perceived angular resolution from the viewpoint of the sensor (antenna) The expression \synthetic aperture" refers to the fact that the aperture is created not from a very
