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. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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

6. Radar engineering - Wikipedia

   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.

7. History of radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_radar

   Called synthetic aperture radar (SAR), an ordinary-sized antenna fixed to the side of an aircraft is used with highly complex signal processing to give an image that would otherwise require a much larger, scanning antenna; thus, the name synthetic aperture. As each pulse is emitted, it is radiated over a lateral band onto the terrain.

8. Synthetically thinned aperture radar - Wikipedia

   Furthermore, aperture thinning reduces the overall volume and mass of the antenna system. A disadvantage is the reduction of radiometric sensitivity (or increase in rms noise) of the image due to a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio for each measurement compared to a filled aperture. Pixel averaging is required for good radiometric sensitivity.

9. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

   Pulse-Doppler radar is also the basis of synthetic aperture radar used in radar astronomy, remote sensing and mapping. In air traffic control, they are used for discriminating aircraft from clutter. Besides the above conventional surveillance applications, pulse-Doppler radar has been successfully applied in healthcare, such as fall risk ...
