NASA/JPL operates a multi-frequency full polarimetric mapping radar onboard a DC-8 aircraft.
Position vectors are not uniformly distributed in the plane following the height reconstruction process and thus need to be resampled to a uniform output grid. This process is call regridding.

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry is an imaging technique for measuring the topography of a surface, its changes over time, and other changes in the detailed characteristics of the surface. This paper reviews the techniques of interferometry, systems and limitations, and applications in a rapidly growing area of science and engineering.
A design constraint traceable to the early days of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is known as the minimum antenna area constraint for SAR. It specifies, as the name suggests, a minimum area for SAR antennas, to optimize performance.

ERS-1 radar images acquired 14 months apart studied by differential radar interferometry show the wide area distribution of aseismic creep along the fault segment northwest of Parkfield, California.
The NASA/JPL airborne SAR (AIRSAR) system can collect cross track interferometric data for topographic mapping applications (TOPSAR) at both C- and L-Band.
By the end of this century, a new tool will be available for geologists, earthquake researchers, emergency management agencies, and forestry and land use management agencies.
The least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter is applied to suppress narrow-band radio-frequency interference (RFI) in wideband sythetic aperture radar (SAR) signals.
A design constraint traceable ot the early days of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is known as the minimum antenna area constraint for SAR. In this paper, it is confirmed that this constraint strictly applies only to the case where both the best possible resolution and the widest possible swath are the design goals. SAR antennas with area smaller than the constraint allows are shown to be possible, have been used on spaceborne SAR missions in the past, and should permit further, lower-cost SAR mission in the future.
