A type of ghosting that occurs when the distance between the sensor and the imaged area is not well known or when the surface is very uneven. 2, record 2, English, - azimuth%20ambiguity
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Once the SAR wavelength and orbital altitude have been specified, the antenna has to meet a certain minimum aperture area dictated by range and azimuth ambiguity considerations. The challenge is to develop clever sub-pulse coding schemes that make it possible to suppress the ambiguities, thereby reducing the requirements on antenna size by a factor of 5 or 10. 3, record 2, English, - azimuth%20ambiguity
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Ghosting occurs when the sampling of returned signals is too slow. 4, record 2, English, - azimuth%20ambiguity

Ambiguïté en azimut. Si l'image générée est bidimensionnelle, l'information reçue est quant à elle unidimensionnelle. L'antenne ne fait que stocker une succession d’échos en fonction du temps bien qu'ils soient stockés dans une matrice bidimensionnelle. Seule une connaissance approchée et a priori de la distance de la zone à imager permet de calibrer les délais d’acquisition et d’assigner la bonne position en azimut pour une ligne. Si celle-ci est mal connue, le lieu imagé ne sera pas celui attendu. Mais surtout, le lobe principal «éclairant» tout de même la zone étudiée, des échos risquent de revenir plus tôt ou plus tard et donc, pendant une autre phase d’acquisition. Ils seront [alors] associés à une autre ligne, c'est-à-dire à une autre position azimutale. 3, record 2, French, - ambigu%C3%AFt%C3%A9%20en%20azimut
