The accuracy requirements of the azimuth signal for spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing is analysed. Degradations of simulated extended scenes and point targets are studied at high squint or if erroneous Doppler parameters are used. At a resolution less than 1 m for X-band it is shown that the azimuth signal for spaceborne SAR geometry should be used. It is found that the fourth-order extended exact transfer function (EETF4) is a good candidate for demanding SAR processing.
