METHOD OF COMPENSATING FOR THE EFFECT OF DEFLECTION OF AN ANTENNA IN A SAR IMAGE AND RADAR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A METHOD

摘要

The SAR is provided formed from a plurality of elementary images issued from successive emission spots, the elementary images overlapping zones of overlap, the measurement of the off-pointing is carried out on the basis of the difference between the energies received from two successive spots in a zone of overlap, the compensation being applied to the antenna reception gain in light of the measurement.
