Synthetic aperture radar equation
Abstract
The synthetic aperture radar equation for extended diffuse clutter depends on the area of such clutter processed by the radar. It is shown here that approximating the illuminated area by the product of the range and azimuth lineal resolutions can give results which are optimistic or pessimistic, depending on the amount of range and azimuth weighting used to suppress sidelobes.
