Abstract
We consider the image structure of ocean waves produced by a synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The theory takes account of the spatial and temporal dependence of small scale capillary waves and large scale waves. Detailed discussions are given to the imaging process in which both amplitude modulation and velocity bunching contribute to the final images. Discussions are also presented on the effect of defocussing on the images of azimuth waves.
