Abstract
A prelaunch study on performances of the X-SAR/SRTM mission in case of outb oard antenna mast bending is presented. The paper provides the assessment o f SAR products, raw data complex images, and interferograms. Theoretical analysis shows the influence of mast oscillation parameters on each SAR product. Employing a SAR raw data simulator, a numerical study on canonical as well as actual scenes is also presented, Numerical results con firm theoretical analysis and quantitatively show SAR products degradation.
