Standard Beam. The standard beam mode operates with any one of seven beam positions, referred to as S1 to S7. The nominal incidence angle range covered by the full set of standard beam is from 20 degrees (at the inner edge of S1) to 49 degrees (at the outer edge of S7). The spatial resolution is 27 m in azimuth and 26 m (near) to 20 m (far) in range direction. Each individual beam covers a minimum ground swath of 100 km within the total 500 km accessibility swath of the full set of Standard beams. The nominal spatial resolution in the range direction is 26 m for S1 at near range to 20 m for S7 at far range. The azimuth resolution is the same, 27 m, for all beam positions. Standard beam modes allow imaging over a wide range of incidence angles with optimum system image quality. 2, record 2, English, - standard%20beam

Le mode [...] standard permet l'acquisition d'images sur une grande gamme d'angles d'incidence acquis avec 7 modes différents, de S1 à S7. Les angles d'incidence varient entre 20° à la limite interne du faisceau S1, à 49° à la limite externe du faisceau S7. L'expérience acquise avec RADARSAT-1 a démontré que le mode standard génère des images qui offrent un bon compromis entre la résolution spatiale, la résolution radiométrique et le taux de couverture. Ce type de faisceau sera disponible en co-polarisation, en polarisation croisée, en double-polarisation ou en mode polarimétrique. 4, record 3, French, - mode%20faisceau%20standard
