The optimal range of radiowave incidence angle for sea surface imaging was analyzed by a theoretical scattering model and measurement data, and it was properly applied to the FMCW SAR system by readjusting the delayed-dechirp process. Raw data acquired through flight experiments were reconstructed to SAR image by the range-doppler algorithm. To verify the performance of the reconstructed sea surface image, dual-channel images collected by the configuration of the along-track interferometry were used, and then performance indicators such as signal attenuation, coherence, and phase difference were analyzed. Through this experimental study, it was confirmed that the ready-made FMCW SAR system without a function of the incident angle control can also conduct limited missions for maritime observation. It is possible to be an alternative resource for emergency response, in which the cases are requiring urgent maritime disaster detection and analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20247310","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,21]],"date-time":"2020-12-21T01:01:08Z","timestamp":1608512468000},"page":"7310","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sea Surface Imaging with a Shortened Delayed-Dechirp Process of Airborne FMCW SAR for Ocean Monitoring on Emergency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2911-1583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji-hwan","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Basic Sciences, Seoul National University, Seoul 88026, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8147-7641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Duk-jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Environmental Science, Seoul National University, Seoul 88026, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2315","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2005.856116","article-title":"Current measurements by SAR along-track interferometry from a space shuttle","volume":"43","author":"Romeiser","year":"2005","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
