  2. Synthetic-aperture radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_radar

    Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is a form of radar that is used to create two-dimensional images or three-dimensional reconstructions of objects, such as landscapes. [1] SAR uses the motion of the radar antenna over a target region to provide finer spatial resolution than conventional stationary beam-scanning radars.

  3. Imaging radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaging_radar

    Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is a form of radar which moves a real aperture or antenna through a series of positions along the objects to provide distinctive long-term coherent-signal variations. This can be used to obtain higher resolution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_engineering

    Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) allow for an angular resolution beyond real beamwidth by moving the aperture over the target, and adding the echoes coherently. Architecture : The field of view is scanned with a highly directive frequency-orthogonal (slotted waveguide), spatially orthogonal (switched beamforming networks), or time-orthogonal beams.

  5. Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometric_synthetic...

    Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, abbreviated InSAR (or deprecated IfSAR), is a radar technique used in geodesy and remote sensing.This geodetic method uses two or more synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to generate maps of surface deformation or digital elevation, using differences in the phase of the waves returning to the satellite [1] [2] [3] or aircraft.

  6. List of radar types - Wikipedia

    However, since humans reflect far less radar energy than metal does, these systems require sophisticated technology to isolate human targets and moreover to process any sort of detailed image. Through-the-wall radars can be made with Ultra Wideband impulse radar, micro-Doppler radar, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). [5] Imaging radar; 3D radar

  7. Synthetic-aperture sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic-aperture_sonar

    Synthetic-aperture sonar (SAS) is a form of sonar in which sophisticated post-processing of sonar data is used in ways closely analogous to synthetic-aperture radar. Synthetic-aperture sonars combine a number of acoustic pings to form an image with much higher along-track resolution than conventional sonars.

  8. History of synthetic-aperture radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_synthetic...

    The history of synthetic-aperture radar begins in 1951, with the invention of the technology by mathematician Carl A. Wiley, and its development in the following decade. Initially developed for military use, the technology has since been applied in the field of planetary science .

  9. Side looking airborne radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_looking_airborne_radar

    Side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) is an aircraft, [1] or satellite-mounted imaging radar pointing perpendicular to the direction of flight (hence side-looking). [2] A squinted (nonperpendicular) mode is also possible. SLAR can be fitted with a standard antenna (real aperture radar) or an antenna using synthetic aperture.
