What is 'SAR' in remote sensing, a technology for producing fine-resolution images from a resolution limited radar system?

  • A.Synthetic Array Radar
  • B.Synthetic Aperture Radar
  • C.Synthetic Apron Radar
  • D.Systematic Array Radar

Answer: B

SAR stands for Synthetic Aperture Radar.

A radar's resolution depends on the size of its antenna (aperture). SAR uses the motion of the aircraft or satellite to combine echoes received along the flight path, synthesising the effect of a very long antenna and so producing fine-resolution images, day or night and through cloud.

The other expansions change 'aperture', the key word that explains the technique, and are not used terms.
