The spatial resolution of a radar antenna inversely proportional to its size. The SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology makes use of the movement of the antenna to create a longer "synthetic" antenna, having therefore a higher spatial resolution than the one associated with same fixed antenna. The large antenna is reconstructed through signal processing. 5, record 1, English, - synthetic%20aperture%20radar%20antenna

En technique radar, la résolution angulaire d'une antenne est inversement proportionnelle à sa taille. La technique SAR, pour «Synthetic Aperture Radar», soit Radar à synthèse d'ouverture, exploite le déplacement de l'antenne pour former une antenne «de synthèse» de dimension plus importante, et donc d'une résolution angulaire plus élevée que la même antenne, immobile. La grande antenne est reconstituée par traitement du signal. 6, record 1, French, - antenne%20radar%20%C3%A0%20synth%C3%A8se%20d%27ouverture
