Azimuth compression consists of coherently correlating the received signal with the azimuth replica function.

CONT

[La] compression en azimut consiste donc à rassembler pour chaque cible l'information étalée en azimut. Cette technique exige une localisation précise des différentes contributions dans l'image. Or, celles-ci sont souvent étalées en distance. Ce phénomène[,] appelé migration [...] doit être corrigé avant la compression en azimut si l'on veut que celle-ci s'effectue correctement.

OBS

compression en azimut : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).
