6.6.17 Slant Range to Ground Range conversion parameters

The Slant Range-to-Ground Range (SR/GR) conversion coefficients may be updated more than once per product (or slice ). Each update is time stamped with the zero Doppler time to which the update applies. For stripline products, the updates occur once for each granule . The SR/GR coefficients used on range lines between two updates are found by linear interpolation between the updated and previous values. The contents of each update (each update is a single ADSR within the ADS ) are as follows. This ADS is not included for SLC products for which SR/GR conversion is not performed, or for Geocoded products.

m 1 fl 4 byte(s)
4 srgr_coeff
The coefficients S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4 of the ground range to slant range conversion polynomial.

Slant range = S0 + S1(GR-GR0) + S2 (GR-GR0)2 + S3(GR-GR0)3 + S4(GR-GR0)4, where GR is the ground range distance from the first pixel of the range line.
