What is reduced SAR modedata? Why reduced SAR?
What?
Reduced SAR mode data intends to emulate LRM starting with FBRSAR.
Why?
• This data would let us achieve two different product types from thesame acquisition mode (SAR)• The resulting data would support quantitative comparison of themeasurement precision delivered by the two styles of altimeter overidentical sea states

Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) I
• N point dataset X = {X[0], X[1], …, X[N-1]} and X = fon(θ) weare interested in determine θ from X, or define a goodestimator of θ
• Provided that the data are inherently random
• CRB help us find the minimum variance of anunbiased estimator if it exists.

Reduced SAR mode vs LRM
• The main difference of both modes is the term SNR1
• With reduced SAR for approximately 20Hz rate we willachieve 32 pseudo-LRM de-correlated echoes, while for LRMwe will have 92 de-correlated echoes.
• This means that the reduce SAR mode SNR1 will beapproximately 10 log (sqrt(32/92)) = -2.29 dB worse thana conventional altimeter.

Conclusions & future work
• The main difference in both acquisition modes is a -2.29SNR1 degradation
• Future work needs to be done in numerically simulate theperformance of range vs SWH. The theoretical work iscompleted
• A software to transform FBR data into pseudo-LRM data isalmost completed
• This software will permit numerical simulations withCRYMPS data to assess on range precision (NOCS) Jensen& Raney DDA: Better Measurement Precision 1998
