Abstract
Ambiguities are one of the limiting factors of SAR product quality and are thus important subject to every mission performance analysis. Since target NRCS is highly heterogeneous, the resulting ambiguities affect different areas at very different levels. Therefore using global average ambiguity levels for product performance assessment is of limited use. In this paper we present a statistical analysis of signal to ambiguity levels taking into account the spatial variability of the NRCS by exploiting global backscattering maps.
