Guide to Magellan Image Interpretation

Figure 1-1. Magellan observing geometry in the SAR imaging, altimeter, and radiometer modes of operation. Cross-track resolution is obtained from the time-delay (range) coordinate. Along-track resolution comes from Doppler-frequency analysis. Resolution in the radiometer mode is determined from the high-gain antenna pattern.
