            Abstract : 
We consider airborne SAR imaging of large scenes from large and curvilinear synthetic apertures, in a situation when the platform trajectory and the target locations are known only approximately, but the distances (ranges) between sensor locations and the (point) targets can be determined to a better accuracy, possibly comparable to the wavelength. In these circumstances, we examine different SAR scenarios which provide different amount of simultaneous information on the sensor and target locations.
