Questions and Answers

What is the cause of the bright linear features that appear at approximately constant range in SAR images?

  • Diffuse reflection from vegetated areas
  • Scattering returns from calm water surfaces
  • Constructive interference from adjacent targets
  • Specular reflection from targets within a very narrow slant range distance (correct)

What is the term used to describe the pattern of spatial tone variations in SAR images?

  • Tone
  • Speckle
  • Scattering returns
  • Texture (correct)

What is the effect of pulse compression on nadir returns in SAR images?

  • Eliminates the effect of scattering returns
  • Restricts the bright return to a small number of range cells (correct)
  • Reduces the strength of the returns
  • Increases the range of the returns
