File:Radar Image Of Tycho Crater From Jean-Luc Margot's PhD Work.png
Horizontal axis is east longitude and vertical axis is latitude.
Pixel intensity is radar backscatter (in dB).
The image spans 142.5 km x 142.5 km. Each pixel spans 150 m x 150 m.
Transmitter: Goldstone Solar System Radar, DSS-14. Receiver: DSS-13.
Wavelength: 3.5 cm. Polarization: circular, opposite sense to that transmitted.
I transmitted a waveform from Goldstone's DSS-14 antenna and received the echoes at DSS-13
