Which limit is reached in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) resolution due to atmospheric distortions?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence introduces variable refractive indices, hence affecting the phase of the radar signals. This leads to errors in *constructive interference* and degrades resolution, because coherent signal addition suffers, therefore affecting image reconstruction; rather than pure noise limiting or antenna limitations.
