Simplement, le radar à synthèse d’ouverture(SAR) se base sur le principe que la contribution de tout objet réfléchissant est présente sur plusieurs échos radar enregistrés à des moments différents. Ainsi, au terme de l'acquisition des données par un capteur SAR, il n’ existe pas d’image proprement dite, étant entendu que l'image est constituée de pixels représentant les objets. Plutôt, le signal radar brut contient l'objet, mais il faut le reconstituer à partir du signal. Cette reconstruction de l'objet à partir d’échos correspond au processus de synthèse de l'image. Au terme de ce processus, nous avons une image telle qu'on la connaît dans la vie de tous les jours : une juxtaposition bidimensionnelle de pixels. 1, record 2, French, - signal%20radar%20brut

A "RAW Signal Data" product contains raw or unprocessed radar video baseband data in complex in-phase and quadrature signal (I and Q) format as they are recorded by the spacecraft. The only processing performed to the downlink X-band "raw signal data" is the frame synchronization, meaning re-assembly of the data into contiguous radar range lines in matrix form, and the CEOS [Committee on Earth Observations Satellite] formatting. Each range line of data is represented by one Signal Data Record in the RAW CEOS product. 2, record 4, English, - %5C%22raw%20signal%20data%5C%22%20product

The RAW product can contain any single beam mode, or for ScanSAR any combination of different beam modes, depending on the operation of the SAR instrument during the data reception or recording period. A RAW product cannot, however, combine data from more than one beam mode, i.e. data from two different beam modes are always packaged as two separate products. A RAW product must be SAR processed before it can be displayed as imagery. RAW products are typically produced on 8 mm (Exabyte) tapes. This is the standard medium for exchanging data between network stations. 2, record 4, English, - %5C%22raw%20signal%20data%5C%22%20product
