Abstract
We present our effort for producing a high-resolution 32-cm wavelength synthetic aperture radar map of the Moon using ground based measurements with the EISCAT UHF radar. We discuss coding, decoding, Doppler north-south ambiguity mitigation, focusing, and clock error mitigation. We also show preliminary results from a test measurement.
