ApertureSynthetic Aperture Radar – Systems and Signal Processing

Optics : Diameter of the lens or mirror. The larger the aperture, the more light a telescope collects. Greater detail and image clarity will be apparent as aperture increases.

Real Aperture vs. Synthetic Aperture

Synthetic Aperture Radar – Systems and Signal Processing

• Real Aperture : resolution ~ Rλ/L

• Synthetic Aperture: resolution ~ L/2

Irrespective of R Smaller, better?! - Carl Wiley (1951)

Rule of Thumb in SAR images

Synthetic Aperture Radar – Systems and Signal Processing

•Backscattering Coefficient

•Smooth – Black •Rough surface – white

•Calm water surface – black•Water in windy day – white

•Hills and other large-scale surface variations tend to appear bright on one side and dim on the other.

•Human-made objects - bright spots (corner reflector) •Strong corner reflector- Bright spotty cross (strong sidelobes)
