SAR modes and operation
- Pau Prats (DLR)
Description
After covering the stripmap operation mode (locture on SAR principles and processing), this lecture introduces new well established operation modes, which are the ScanSAR and Spotlight. These modes are used to increase the coverage, i.e. swath width, or the azimuth resolution of SAR as explained in the lecture. Further, the basic priciple behind the processing (focusing) of the various modes is explained.
