A case study of the space-borne SAR design is described, including performance parameters trade off between mission requirements and limitations/constraints of hardware/satellite capabilities/SAR system itself. Principal mission requirements are observation of geological features of lands with the finest resolution, the highest contrast and the largest incident angle. Major system parameters to be discussed are radar frequency, spatial resolution, swath width and incident angle vs. output power, power consumption, antenna size, weight, data rate etc. In conclusion, results of the case study present feasible SAR design menues for a Japanese earth resources satellite being planned around 1990.
