Estimation of the spatial resolution of a synthetic aperture radar antenna of the VHF frequency range placed on board an unmanned aerial vehicle along a real flight path

Background. Currently, there is an intensive development of radar systems for remote sensing of the Earth, including those placed on unmanned aerial vehicles. Synthetic aperture radars are an effective means of round-the-clock and all-weather observation of objects on the Earth’s surface. Radars operating in the VHF range allow you to observe hidden and subsurface objects. The need for practical implementation of VHF band radar with synthesizing the aperture on board unmanned aerial vehicles requires additional research on the spatial resolution of radars, taking into account the unstable trajectory of the carrier.
