Abstract
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active microwave imaging method. It operates independently of Sun illumination and cloud coverage. Current spaceborne systems use wavelengths of 3 to 25 cm and achieve resolutions of 10 to 50 m. The paper attempts to explain the basic SAR imaging principles using a minimum of mathematics. Emphasis is put on the particular properties of SAR images that should be understood before interpreting these data.
