Course Description
Explore theory, applications, and orbital considerations for both synthetic aperture radar and moving target indication modes. Examine space-based radar technology issues, including electronically scanned antennas, waveforms, tracking, and on-board processing. Focus on actual space-based radar systems to understand design choices.
