Understanding Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a sophisticated form of radar used to generate high-resolution 2D images or 3D reconstructions of landscapes. By utilizing radar imagery, SAR provides detailed information about the physical properties of objects within a scene.
Typically mounted on a moving platform such as an aircraft or spacecraft, SAR collects coarse resolution data at a high sampling rate as the radar antenna moves over the target area. Advanced computational signal processing is then applied to the dataset, producing extremely fine resolution composite radar imagery, often in the metre or sub-metre range.
SAR’s primary application lies in remote sensing—detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its scattered radiation from a distance. This capability makes SAR indispensable in fields such as environmental monitoring, defense, disaster management, and geological surveying.
With its groundbreaking achievements, Sisir Radar is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of radar technology, enhancing India’s capabilities, and solidifying its standing in the global radar industry.
