About this document

Analysis of Ship Azimuth Smearing in Spaceborne SAR Imagery by Dragan Stanic is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Strong azimuth smearing that is quite common in many SAR ship images, especially at higher incidence angles as the case for spaceborne SAR, is always observed on the “power side” (closer to radar) of ship images. Several possible explanations were considered including sidelobes, angular scintillation or glint, and moving equipment such as marine radar, but none could be proven by a detailed signal analysis.
