Figure 29. The Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) Training System,
Model 8096-8.
The SAR Training System synthesizes a large
aperture antenna through motion of a small-aperture
(low-directivity) horn antenna. Motion of the horn
antenna is achieved using the Target Positioning
System (Model 9607-1) included in the Basic Radar
Training System, and an antenna-motion control
module (SAR controller). Target radar echoes produced
during a complete antenna scan are sampled and stored
in the SAR processor then processed using a range-
Doppler algorithm to obtain high-resolution SAR images.
The SAR Training System includes SAR processing
and imagery software (LVSAR), a SAR controller
module, the necessary cables and accessories, and a
system user guide. Reflective scale models of aircrafts
that can be used with the SAR Training System are
optionally available. See Optional Equipment for
Models 8096-5 and 8096-8 in this data sheet.
