ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for topographically mapping the surface of the Earth under utilization of measuring the altitude by means of radar, and under further utilization of a synthetic aperture for the radar, as well as an electronically controlled antenna lobe. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is suggested to conically pivot the antenna lobe around a nadir, whereby pivoting of the center line follows a path such that the line constitutes the geneatrix of a cone.
