Abstract

A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulator for ocean scene is an appropriate tool for better understanding such an intriguing and interesting environment. This paper presents some meaningful results of a simulation code that has been developed according to the distributed surface model. The code includes a generalized Bragg scattering return from short waves under oblique incidence
