Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) creates an image of a target scene by coherently processing radar echo returns collected along a flightpath. The quality of the SAR image is inextricably linked to the utility of the image for exploitation supporting the task at hand. Aspects of quality include the fidelity with which it can render the scene being imaged, to include the system’s Impulse Response (IPR) and underlying noise levels/characteristics. Other factors also impact utility.
