Abstract
An SAR simulator of an extended three-dimensional scene is presented. It is based on a facet model for the scene, asymptotic evaluation of SAR unit response, and a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform code for the data processing. Prescribed statistics of the model account for a realistic speckle of the image. The simulator is implemented in Synthetic Aperture Radar Advance Simulators (SARAS), whose performance is described and illustrated by a number of examplesKeywords
