Environmental monitoring, earth-resource mapping, and military systems require broad-area imaging at high resolutions. Often, this imagery must be acquired at night or during inclement weather. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides such a capability. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems take advantage of the long-range propagation characteristics of radar signals and the complex information processing capability of modern digital electronics to provide high resolution imagery.
The real advantages of SAR unfold when the data are processed and analyzed appropriately to meet the mission. Many unique effects of SAR satellite data, such as radar shadow, can be exploited to extract information from the derived imagery that isnât detectable through visual interpretation alone. For example, SAR imagery can be used to detect and even quantify the motion of objects on both land and sea. Thanks to the measurability of a SAR signalâs intensity and phase, imagery analysts can determine elevation information and even subtle changes to surface conditions.
