Abstract

An efficient SAR raw signal simulator of cross-track interferometric pairs is presented. It is based on the physical optics evaluation of the scattering contributes and it is efficiently implemented via an analytic formulation of the SAR system transfer function. A certain number of meaningful examples are also presented and discussed
