Abstract :
The main object of the article is to simulate the two-dimensional image spectrum from raw synthetic aperture radar data. The quasi-linear imaging model for simulating synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of ocean spectra is explored in this article. Wave height spectra measured by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), US are used as inputs to the quasi-linear model. Additional parametric variations are presented to illustrate the imaging process
