In this paper a SAR simulator able to provide images presenting appropriate speckle statistics is introduced. The simulator is able to generate both Exponential (fully developed speckle) and K-distributed speckle statistics, according to surface and radar parameters. It is based on sound physical models for the evaluation of the number of equivalent scatterers per resolution cell. The proposed ...

Design has been performed continuously for centuries. It was only by the middle of the 20th century when design an intense human activity became the focus point of controller and its techniques. Design philosophies, models, design phases, methods and techniques have been developed (Evduomwan NFO et al. 1996, Finger S and Dixon JR 1989). According to Ullman (1992), the product design process con...
