Simplified Block Diagram Showing How Radio Interferometer Images Are Formed?

-- Vic | January 23, 2020

Question:

Is there a published simplified block diagram showing how an image is formed? How does the process relate to creating a radar SAR map?

-- Vic

Answer:

I believe that this question has been answered previously at “How Does a Radio Interferometer Work?”. This answer includes a link to further information, which includes a block diagram of the imaging process.
