5 Questions
What is the main factor that determines the spatial resolution of a Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) system?
Length of the antenna
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
What is the limitation of achieving high azimuth resolution in SLAR systems operating at high altitudes?
Engineering difficulties in building longer antennas
What is necessary for two objects on the ground to be imaged separately in a SLAR system?
They must not be both within the radar beam at the same time
What is a major drawback of the SLAR system?
Moderate to low azimuth resolution
Test your knowledge of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems, which use side-looking radar to create high-resolution images of the Earth's surface. Learn how SAR works, including data accumulation and processing to produce radar images.
