Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a radar image configuration?

  • To visually represent the amount of microwave energy backscattered from the earth's surface (correct)
  • To analyze the terrain's roughness and relief
  • To measure the thermal properties of targets
  • To provide information on chemical properties of targets

How does the viewing geometry of a spaceborne SAR compare to an airborne SAR with a similar swath width?

  • It has a more complex illumination geometry
  • It remains constant over the whole swath
  • It varies significantly over the whole swath
  • It varies only a few degrees (correct)

What is the result of low backscatter values in radar images?

  • They appear as bright tones
  • They are not visible in the image
  • They appear as dark tones (correct)
  • They represent high roughness terrain
