Abstract
We show that the performance of future high-resolution SAR modes will be limited by anomalous propagation effects, rather than by platform measurement errors, or focusing algorithm limitations, or RF wavelength. This is established by calculating the phase history distortions that result from specified atmospheric temperature profiles. Simulations show the effects of such phase distortions upon SAR images.
