Basic Synthetic Aperture Radar

This module introduces learners to the radar and signal processing principles behind Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). An overview of SAR sensor technologies and applications prepares learners for hands-on sessions in which the standard data processing and analysis tools are applied to real-world problems. The use of SAR satellite data is becoming increasingly prevalent with the advanced capabilities of the current fleet of spacecraft. In an Irish context it is particularly useful as SAR can penetrate clouds
