A significant post-launch calibration experiment for the SEASAT-A SARA technique for periodically monitoring the impulse response function of the SEASAT-A synthetic aperture radar is outlined that yields most of the significant contributors to the overall instrument transfer function. The essential measurement involves exciting the total SAR system at L-band with a strong point source scatterer, receiving via the normal S-band analog data link, and finally sampling and processing only a small subset of data in the immediate vicinity of the strong point source.
