Radar Resolution（分辨率）

Range resolution（距离向分辨率）
--Range resolution is dependent on the length of the pulse(脉冲长度); 脉冲越短，分辨率越高。

For ERS-1/2, a 10m antenna is used to synthesize a nearly 5 km antenna. About 1000 radar images are used to get one SAR image.

Azimuth resolution（方位向分辨率）
-- Azimuth resolution is determined by the beam width（波束宽度）；波束越窄，分辨率越高.

SAR（合成孔径雷达）

Through the moving of antenna along a line, image a scene for a number of times。通过沿着一条直线移动天 线，对同一地物多次成像 Synthesize the multiple imaging data of a scene to one image。把同一地物的多次成像合成为一幅图像 Equivalent to “enlarge” the antenna, forming a very long antenna and thus improving the azimuth resolution 等效 于增大天线，形成一根很长的天线，从而改善分辨率


Based on the principle of Doppler frequency shift caused by the relative movement between the antenna and the target（依据多普勒频移原理）

By tracing the frequency shifts and thus synthesising the corresponding echoes, the azimuth resolution can be sharpened (SAR focusing technique) （根据多普勒频移，合成相应的回波，改善方位分辨 率，称为SAR成像或聚焦过程）
