Imaging Simulation of Sea Surface with SAR

This article mainly deals with the imaging simulation of dynamic sea surface with air-borne SAR. The sea surface was simulated as a two-scale model for authenticity of simulation and appropriate speed of operation. Then, the echo of the sea surface is modeled based on suitable two-scale scattering model. At last, the article makes imaging simulations in different sea states using SAR strip-map and squint mode according to the parameters, and the effectiveness of the simulated images is justified by statistical properties of the real SAR image.
