The resolution <strong>of</strong> the CP-SAR in azimuth direction δ ACP can be determined as<br />

δ ACP =<br />

Rλ<br />

2L SACP<br />

(2.30)<br />

Where, the length <strong>of</strong> synthetic aperture <strong>of</strong> the CP-SAR L SACP = Rθ ACP , therefore<br />

δ ACP =<br />

λ<br />

2θ ACP<br />

(2.31)<br />

As we can see, the azimuth resolution <strong>of</strong> the CP-SAR sensor is not depend on the physical<br />

length <strong>of</strong> the antenna. In other hand, the ground resolution δ rgCP<br />

as function <strong>of</strong> chirp pulse<br />

bandwidth (B), light velocity (c) and incidence angle (θ i ) can be formulated as<br />

δ rgCP =<br />

c<br />

2B sin θ i<br />

(2.32)<br />

Where the incidence angle θ i can be calculated<br />

(<br />

)<br />

θ i = sin −1 R e + H<br />

sin θ o<br />

R e<br />

(2.33)<br />

For the airborne system, the high <strong>of</strong> the platform, H is relative small compare to the earth<br />

radius (R e ≈ 6371 km), (H
