Abstract
A synthetic aperture radar antenna, which is mechanically scanned through the squint mode, is operated to a selected roll angle to optimize the alignment of the antenna beam axis or isogain line, and the line of constant doppler frequency or isodop line. The roll angle is selected as a function of the angular position of the antenna in azimuth and elevation.
