Questions and Answers

What is the main factor that determines the spatial resolution of a Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) system?

  • Orbiting altitude of the satellite
  • Length of the antenna (correct)
  • Slant range of the radar
  • Frequency of the radar
  • Why does the azimuth resolution of a SLAR system deteriorate as the range increases?

  • Due to the increase in the radar beam's angular spread (correct)
  • Due to the decrease in the length of the antenna
  • Due to the decrease in the radar beam's angular spread
  • Due to the increase in the frequency of the radar
  • What is the limitation of achieving high azimuth resolution in SLAR systems operating at high altitudes?

  • Interference from other radar systems
  • Atmospheric conditions affecting the radar signal
  • Engineering difficulties in building longer antennas (correct)
  • Limitations in the frequency of the radar
