The Essentials of SAR: A Conceptual View of Synthetic Aperture Radar and Its Remarkable Capabilities - Softcover
Synopsis
Synthetic Aperture Radar for the Rest of Us
Synthetic Aperture Radar is well known as the imaging technique that can see through clouds and darkness, but SAR remains a confusing and enigmatic sensor. Its images are naturally different from the optical views wired into the human visual system, and SAR has an electrical engineering heritage that is incomprehensible to most people.
This book makes SAR clear and appealing to remote sensing students and professionals who do not have advanced degrees in electrical engineering. It uses expansive explanations, nearly three hundred illustrations and images, a few simple equations, and even a bit of prose and music to describe how SAR works. It seeks to replace the confusion and intimidation of SAR with clarity and comfort.
