resolution in azimuth

resolution in azimuth

[‚rez·ə′lü·shən in ′az·ə·məth]
(engineering)
The angle by which two targets must be separated in azimuth in order to be distinguished by a radar set when the targets are at the same range.

A synthetic aperture can be derived through the movement of antenna, and the higher resolution in azimuth will be obtained.
Study of ionospheric effects on azimuth imaging for Medium-Earth-Orbit SAR
However, in conventional SAR systems, high geometric resolution in azimuth and wide swath (HRWS) [1] coverage imposes contradicting requirements on system design: a high azimuth resolution requires a large Doppler bandwidth, which has to be sampled with a sufficiently high pulse repetition frequency (PRF).
Azimuth multichannel SAR imaging based on compressed sensing
This imaging mode results in higher Doppler bandwidth signals for a high resolution in azimuth than that in stripmap SAR.
