SAR Collection Mode Codelist
The value domain of SAR Collection Mode Codelist is defined in the following table.
| # | Code | English Name | Definition | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | spotlight | Spotlight | antenna is steered to keep approximately the same ground area illuminated by the beam (source 19130-2) | |
| 2 | stripmap | Stripmap | beam sweeps a swath along a strip of terrain that is parallel to the path of motion (source 19130-2) | |
| 3 | scan | Scan | beam is steered to illuminate a strip of terrain that can be at any angle with respect to the direction of motion (source 19130-2) | |
| 4 | wideSwath | Wide swath | In the Wide Swath Mode, the ScanSAR technique is used, providing images of a wider strip with medium-resolution in HH or VV polarisation. The total swath consists of several (e.g five) subswaths and the ASAR transmits bursts of pulses to each of the subswaths in turn in such a way that a continuous along-track image is built up for each subswath.
Note: For Interferometric ASAR only.

| 5 | hugeRegion | Huge region | ScanSAR HUGE is one of the modes in which the COSMO-SkyMed SAR can operate, right and left looking acquisition.
